Andreas Dwi Maryanto Gunawan

Andreas Gunawan is one of the front-desk quants working for Development Bank of Singapore (DBS). Previously, he was working as a Research Assistant for National University of Singapore (NUS) while completing his Phd at the university. He is capable of speaking a few languages: English, Bahasa Indonesia, and programming languages such as Matlab, Python, and C++. However, his language of choice, which he has been (and is still) meticulously training since young age, happens to be the universal language: Math. Some notable past achievements: + Best Dissertation Prize for PhD thesis; + Lijen Industrial Awardee for the best undergraduate thesis in applied mathematics in 2013; + Silver and Bronze medalist of International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) 2008 & 2009; and + Gold medalist of Indonesian National Mathematics Olympiad (OSN) 2006 designed for high-school sudents when he was in secondary school.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Identity is supported by primary sources (official IMO results page, NUS Department of Mathematics award page, arXiv author page, ResearchGate profile) all agreeing on Indonesia IMO 2008/09, NUS mathematics PhD, and DBS. Employment evidence: DBS Bank roles from Dec 2018 (ResearchGate lists a DBS 'T&M' Associate; LinkedIn lists Associate (Quant), Senior Associate, AVP, VP through ~2024) are quant/financial-markets roles at a bank - DBS Treasury & Markets qualifies as an in-scope quantitative-finance employer. The Dec 2024 Balyasny Asset Management Quantitative Researcher role is the strongest in-scope data point (Balyasny is a large multi-strategy hedge fund, bamfunds.com); it rests on the caller-supplied index lead plus LinkedIn and is therefore index/LinkedIn-sourced rather than independently confirmed by a primary announcement. No internships or student programs found; all listed roles are substantive.Dec 2024
• Employed as a Quantitative Researcher at Balyasny Asset Management L.P., Singapore, from December 2024 - a multi-strategy hedge fund; index/LinkedIn-derived and consistent with the DBS quant-to-hedge-fund trajectory.Dec 2024
• DBS Bank is a Singapore bank whose Treasury & Markets division houses financial-markets/quantitative activity; his DBS roles ran approximately 2018-2024 (Associate (Quant) -> Senior Associate -> Assistant Vice President -> Vice President).2024
• Won the Louis Chen Hsiao Yun Best Dissertation Prize in 2020, awarded annually to the best NUS mathematics PhD thesis; the prize table names his thesis and year.2020
• Holds a PhD in Mathematics from the National University of Singapore (2013-2018); thesis titled 'On the Tree and Cluster Containment Problems for Phylogenetic Networks'.2018
• Own LinkedIn summary states he was 'one of the front-desk quants working for Development Bank of Singapore (DBS)', held the Lijen Industrial Award for best undergraduate thesis in applied mathematics in 2013, and lists Matlab, Python and C++ as programming languages.2024
• ResearchGate profile corroborates the NUS PhD and lists a DBS 'T&M' (Treasury & Markets) Associate role starting December 2018 plus an NUS Department of Mathematics Research Assistant role, alongside 17 publications and 223 citations in phylogenetics and graph theory.2019
• ResearchGate labels the DBS unit 'T&M' and dates the Associate role to December 2018; this independently corroborates the LinkedIn start date for his move from NUS research into the bank, rather than relying on the index alone.Dec 2018
• Represented Indonesia at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2008 (Silver medal, 23 points, rank 116) and 2009 (Bronze medal, 23 points, rank 148), per the official IMO results database.Jul 2009
• Publication record is catalogued on phylnet.univ-eiffel.fr (community phylogenetic-networks index), which lists multiple Gunawan papers on tree-child networks, tree containment and scanwidth - the durable academic footprint behind the NUS PhD.2020
• First-author arXiv paper 1702.04088 'Solving Tree Containment Problem for Reticulation-visible Networks with Optimal Running Time' (Feb 2017) - the theoretical-computer-science core of his PhD work.Feb 14, 2017
