• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED - Gabriel Toneatti Vercelli's LinkedIn lists a current role as Quantitative Researcher at 'Xantium Group - Tudor Investment Corporation' (started 2025); Xantium's own site and press describe it as a quantitative, systematic multi-strategy investment firm spun out of Tudor Investment Corporation in 2020, so the employer is a genuine quant hedge fund and the role is a real research position, not a student program.Sep 1, 2025
• Press (April 2026) describes Xantium as a quant hedge fund - 'the best quant hedge fund you've never heard of' - and reports it is preparing a standalone launch, corroborating that his employer is a systematic/quant trading firm rather than a name coincidence.Apr 1, 2026
• Represented Brazil at IMO 2016 and won a silver medal (rank 137, 22 points, solving problems P1, P2 and P4 fully).Jul 1, 2016
• Xantium is a multi-strategy investment firm that integrates quantitative research with human (fundamental) expertise, spun up inside Tudor Investment Corporation in 2020 by four Tudor veterans, with core teams in London and New York; it trades global markets across asset classes.
• Represented Brazil at IMO 2015 and won a bronze medal (rank 183, 16 points).Jul 1, 2015
• LinkedIn shows a research-only career before Xantium: a five-year MIT doctoral researcher role (Cordero Lab, 2020-2025), Princeton research roles (Shvartsman Lab 2019; Tarnita/Gregor Labs 2018-2020; Gregor Lab summer 2017), and a Research Associate stint at the Technical University of Munich Gerland Lab (2018-2020) - no prior quant-finance internship appears on the profile.
• PhD in Microbiology at MIT (2020-2025) in the Cordero Lab; his research applies mathematical modeling and computational methods to microbial systems, co-authoring biorxiv papers on bacteria interactions and single-cell mass accumulation.
• Bachelor's degree in Physics (cum laude) from Princeton University (2016-2020), with research across biophysics and theoretical biology labs (Tarnita, Gregor, Shvartsman) and a TUM research stay.
• Co-authored research papers including 'The plasticity of bacteria interactions across environments' (biorxiv, 2024) and a single-cell mass accumulation study of bacterioplankton (biorxiv, 2025), and a microbiome paper in Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
• His Xantium team background page notes the firm's people have expertise in analytic number theory, string theory or deep learning - consistent with a research-scientist pipeline into quantitative research.
