I just finished a master of physics degree with a first. I believe that if I now wisely chose my PHD and do well in that, i'll be left with a good chance of becoming a quant later in life. I would like to do a research project involving complexity science, but i'm not sure how well regarded this is by financial firms? If a complexity science PHD is no good, would I best doing a research project in "pure" physics (something more traditional e.g. photonics), information theory or something more specific such as financial computing? Any tips, especially from someone who works at an investment bank, would be appreciated.
