Notes2

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Angelos Assos held an actual 'Quantitative Research Intern' role at Tower Research Capital (New York) in Winter 2022, stated on his own personal site's Work Experience section (primary source). Tower Research Capital is a quantitative proprietary trading firm / electronic market maker (tower-research.com states quantitative trading; Wikipedia describes it as an electronic market maker), so the employer genuinely operates in quantitative finance - not merely a name containing 'quant'. This is real work/internship, not a competition, camp, insight day, scholarship, or incoming offer. Identity is supported: same person as the Cyprus IMO 2017/2018/2019 contestant (personal site lists IMO bronze medals; MIT/Princeton CS path). Correction to the caller lead: the lead labeled the role 'Quantitative Researcher, Jan 2022'; the primary source specifies a Winter 2022 internship, not a full-time researcher position. The internship has ended; no present quant employment is evidenced. LinkedIn enrichment (index-based, not independent primary confirmation) lists the same internship and a 2025 Bloomberg Software Engineer role; the Bloomberg role is software engineering, not a quant-trading role.
