Fransisca Susan

Fransisca Susan is a quantitative researcher at Two Sigma in New York and holds a PhD in Operations Research from MIT (2023; thesis 'Online Combinatorial Optimization for Digital Marketplaces'). She earned a BS in Computer Science and Mathematics with a minor in Economics from MIT. She was co-founder and CTO of Fintelite (formerly Sribuu, YC Winter 2022), a Jakarta lending-process-automation startup. Earlier experience includes Goldman Sachs Strats summer internships (2017, 2018), a PhD research internship at Facebook (2021), and research/teaching at MIT (CSAIL, EECS). As an Indonesian high-school student she competed at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Two Sigma operates in quantitative investment/hedge-fund management; the role 'Quantitative Researcher at Two Sigma' is stated by a peer-reviewed INFORMS journal author biography ('Fransisca Susan is a quantitative researcher at Two Sigma') and by her MIT PhD advisor's students page ('Fransisca Susan (Ph.D. at MIT - OR Center), 2019-2023, Advisee, First position: Quantitative Researcher at Two Sigma'), matching her LinkedIn. Identity is supported by the matching MIT OR PhD (2023) and the same name/affiliation across these sources. Earlier quant-finance internships: Goldman Sachs Securities Strats Summer Analyst (2017) and Summer Analyst, Structured Product Group Strats / FICC SMM FX and Quant Vol Trading desks (2018). Classifications: Two Sigma = quantitative hedge fund (CONFIRMED employer category); Goldman Sachs = investment bank with a quantitative-strategies (Strats) division (internship, not full-time).2022
• MIT PhD advisor Negin Golrezaei's students page lists Fransisca Susan as a 2019-2023 advisee (OR Center) whose first position was a Quantitative Researcher role - a primary academic source corroborating the employment lead alongside her LinkedIn.2023
• Co-founder and CTO of Fintelite (formerly Sribuu), a Y Combinator Winter 2022 company offering AI-driven lending-process automation based in Jakarta (YC company page).2022
• Peer-reviewed technical note 'Active Learning for Nonparametric Choice Modeling' (Operations Research) is authored by F. Susan and gives her author biography as 'a quantitative researcher at Two Sigma' - a journal primary source, not an index or aggregator.2022
• PhD thesis 'Online Combinatorial Optimization for Digital Marketplaces' (MIT DSpace, 2023) is the primary record of her Operations Research doctorate at MIT.2023
• Goldman Sachs Securities Strats Summer Analyst 2017 - a 10-week rotational program across the FICC SMM FX desk and Quant Vol Trading desk in the New York Securities Division (per LinkedIn description), an actual trading-strategy internship.2017
• Competed for Indonesia at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2012, 2013 and 2014 (Olympiad identity per the task brief).2014
• Paper 'Online combinatorial optimization with group fairness constraints' (IJCAI 2024) lists Fransisca Susan at the MIT Sloan School of Management - sustained OR/optimization research output after her PhD.2024
• MIT Club of Indonesia introduced her as having received her PhD in Operations Research from MIT in 2023 and being currently a quantitative researcher at Two Sigma; the same post describes a dual Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Electrical [Engineering], which conflicts with her LinkedIn BS in Computer Science and Mathematics with an Economics minor - a minor provenance discrepancy noted rather than resolved.2024
• LinkedIn lists a PhD Researcher role at Facebook in 2021 - an industry research engagement during her doctoral studies, separate from her later Two Sigma role.2021
• Goldman Sachs Summer Analyst 2018 (Structured Product Group Strats, Divisional Strats) recorded on her LinkedIn - an actual internship role, distinct from competitions or insight events.2018
