Ines El-Bouzaidi Tiali is a student in the Ingénieur Polytechnicien (X22) cycle at École Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France. She represented Morocco at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2019 (honourable mention, score 10) and 2020, and won a silver medal with the Moroccan team at the 2019 Pan-African Mathematics Olympiad. She was one of 36 international finalists for the 2025 McCall MacBain Scholarship at McGill University, the only finalist from a French higher-education institution. Her recorded experience includes a quant analyst internship at Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking (June-September 2024), participation in the Jane Street INSIGHT and Discover Citadel/Citadel Securities student programmes (March-April 2024), and an MSc research internship on multi-agent mixed-integer programming at Mila with Prof. Margarida Carvalho (April-July 2025).

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The profile lists a past 'Quant analyst intern' role at Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking (Jun 2024 - Sep 2024) - an actual internship, not a student insight programme - and her identity is independently supported (IMC/IMO records and École Polytechnique place the same person at X22 through 2025). Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking is a verifiable investment bank whose Global Markets and careers pages describe origination, structuring, syndication and quantitative analysis teams, so it operates in quantitative finance. Caveat: the Natixis role itself rests on the LinkedIn/index record (see notes), not an independent primary-source document. The other two finance-branded items are student programmes, NOT employment: 'Jane Street INSIGHT Programme' (Apr 2024) and 'Discover Citadel and Citadel Securities - Spring Intern' (Mar 2024) are recruitment/insight events and do not qualify as roles. No current quant-finance employment is evidenced.Sep 30, 2024
