• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED.Sep 17, 2026
• J.P. Morgan London career spans 2016-2025: Equity Derivatives Structuring VP (2016-2021) then Equity Derivatives Trader, Executive Director (2021-2025), before moving to Citadel as a Quantitative Researcher in 2025 - nine years in bank equity derivatives, all index-sourced (index-only).Sep 17, 2026
• Two distinct employers classify as quantitative finance: Citadel (multi-strategy hedge fund) and J.P. Morgan (global bank sales-and-trading) - both operate in quantitative finance on their own primary sites, so the roles qualify; no employer in the record depends on a 'quant' in its name.Sep 17, 2026
• Represented Italy at IMO 2011 (Amsterdam) as a secondary-school student and won a bronze medal with 16 points, rank 253; the official IMO record lists Italy 2011 and an individual contestant record with award B.Jul 1, 2011
• Education is a single continuous mathematics path: Liceo Scientifico (2006-2011), Scuola Normale Superiore and Universita di Pisa bachelor's (2011-2014) and master's (2014-2016), plus a financial mathematics master's at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI (2015-2016) - index-sourced (index-only).Jan 1, 2016
• Gave a 2019 guest lecture in Applied Computational Finance at the University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School, on invitation from Dr Ankush Agarwal - the only public teaching/speaking signal on the record.Jan 1, 2019
• The caller-supplied lead listed 'Citadel Quantitative Researcher' twice; the profile index shows a single Citadel Quantitative Researcher role (2025-present), so the duplicated lead is one role, not two.Sep 17, 2026
