Alexander Fisch

I enjoy working with data, mathematics, and coding. This probably makes me a data scientist or a statistician.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Alexander Fisch held/holds an actual quantitative research role at G-Research, a London quantitative research and technology firm that states it uses mathematics, statistics, machine learning, NLP and deep learning to predict financial markets. The official BxMO 2025 ceremony document names 'Alexander Fisch: Gold medal 4th BxMO (2012)' among former Belgian BxMO contestants 'working at G-Research', independently linking the olympiad identity to the employer; an index-backed LinkedIn profile records Quantitative Researcher (2020-2023) and Senior Quantitative Researcher (2023-present). Employer classification: G-Research is unambiguously quantitative finance/research (self-described quantitative firm). Earlier roles are index/LinkedIn-only and not themselves quant-trading roles: research graduate at Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg (2016, a German public-sector bank) and summer intern at ATASS Sports (2015, sports analytics/betting modelling).2025
• IMO 2012 (Mar del Plata): Alexander Fisch, Belgium, scored 24 (problems 7+7+0+7+3+0), ranked 72=, and won a Silver Medal.Jul 2012
• Olympiad identity corroborated by two independent primary documents: the official BxMO 2012 page lists 'Alexander Fisch' as Belgian contestant BEL 7, and the BxMO 2025 ceremony document names 'Alexander Fisch' as a former Belgian BxMO contestant (2012 gold medalist) working at G-Research - together linking the competition identity and the employer.Apr 2012
• Index-only (LinkedIn-backed, not independently date-confirmed): G-Research roles listed as Quantitative Researcher 2020-2023 and Senior Quantitative Researcher 2023-present; the 'present'/'2023' current-role dating is from an index snapshot and should not be taken as a live-verified current employment.2026
• G-Research self-describes as 'a leading quantitative research and technology company' that predicts financial markets from large data sets using mathematics, statistics, machine learning, NLP and deep learning - the basis for classifying it as a quantitative finance employer.2025
• Gold medal at the 4th Benelux Mathematical Olympiad (BxMO) 2012 in Namur, Belgium, competing as Belgian contestant BEL 7.Apr 2012
• IMO 2011 (Amsterdam): Alexander Fisch, Belgium, scored 17, ranked 222=, and won a Bronze Medal.Jul 2011
• MRes and PhD in Statistics at Lancaster University (listed MRes+PhD 2016-2020; PhD-student role 2017-2020) leading directly into the G-Research quantitative researcher role in 2020.2020
• Graduate of the University of Cambridge with a BA and MMath (Part III) in Mathematics, 2012-2016 - a four-year mathematics track consistent with secondary schooling ending after IMO 2012.2016
• IMO 2010 (Astana): Alexander Fisch, Belgium (BEL3), scored 7 and won no medal - his first of three consecutive IMO appearances.Jul 2010
• Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg (research graduate, London, 2016) is a German public-sector/Landesbank commercial bank; the role is classified as bank research, not a dedicated quantitative-finance or trading desk.2016
• ATASS Sports (summer intern 2015, Exeter) is a sports data analytics/betting-modelling company, not a quantitative-finance or trading firm - so this internship is adjacent analytics experience rather than a quant-finance role.2015
