Notes4

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. An actual, currently-held role at bp is backed by the LinkedIn profile (headline 'Quantitative Research and Alpha Capture at BP Trading'; title Data Strategist) — bp's trading arm (bp Trading) is a genuine energy/quantitative trading operation. Employer classification: bp = integrated energy major with a real quantitative trading desk (qualifies); BNP Paribas CIB = corporate & investment bank operating quantitative trading/structuring, past role listed as 'Quantitative Analyst' (qualifies); Barclays = bank with quant functions, but the listed title 'Data Scientist' is not by itself a confirmed quant-finance role. Identity corroboration: the LinkedIn profile's Harvard PhD in Mathematics is independently consistent with the Mathematics Genealogy Project entry (Harvard PhD 2010, advisor Denis Auroux). Caveats retained: the BNP Paribas and Barclays titles are index/LinkedIn-derived, not confirmed by a company source, and no single source read states both the Olympiad participation and the finance career together.
• Mathematics Genealogy Project (independent of LinkedIn) records an Aleksandar Subotic awarded a PhD in Mathematics by Harvard University in 2010, dissertation 'A Monoidal Structure For The Fukaya Category', advisor Denis S. Auroux — this corroborates the Harvard PhD on the LinkedIn profile.2010
• Represented Yugoslavia at IMO 2001 and won a bronze medal (rank 148, 16 points; P1=7, P4=7) per the official IMO results page; the results index lists no other Yugoslav 'Aleksandar Subotic'.Jul 2001
• Career timeline as listed on his LinkedIn profile (an index-backed self-described record, NOT independent primary-source confirmation): bp (Data Strategist), BNP Paribas CIB (Quantitative Analyst), Barclays (Data Scientist), a Researcher role in Belgrade, Stanford University (Simons Postdoctoral Fellow), and CERN (Summer Associate). No dates are shown, so no employment dates are asserted here.
• LinkedIn headline reads 'Quantitative Research and Alpha Capture at BP Trading' with summary 'Applications of data driven decision making and machine learning to systematic trading'; bp Trading is bp's energy-trading arm, so this role sits on an energy trading desk rather than a classic hedge fund or market-maker.
• Education-listing consistency: LinkedIn states BA Mathematics (Princeton) and PhD Mathematics (Harvard); the Harvard PhD is corroborated independently by the Mathematics Genealogy Project, but no page read states both the Olympiad participation and the finance career together — the IMO/industry link rests on the shared name and mathematical pedigree, not a single confirming source.
• Distinguishing role type: BNP Paribas CIB 'Quantitative Analyst' and bp 'Data Strategist'/'quantitative research and alpha capture' are listed as employment roles, while CERN 'Summer Associate' is a student/summer programme — the short-term programmes are not equivalent to permanent quant-finance employment. All role titles are LinkedIn/index-reported, not company-published.
• Denis Auroux's Harvard CV lists a paper by 'Aleksandar Subotic' ('A monoidal structure for the Fukaya category'), an independent Harvard-mathematics link for the same name.
• No public personal website, blog, GitHub, X/Twitter account, or published contact details for this Aleksandar Subotic were found via profile and web searches; his public footprint is essentially the LinkedIn profile plus academic records.
