Ingolfur Edvardsson (Icelandic: Ingolfur Edvardsson) is an Icelandic software developer based in Greater London. He represented Iceland at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2008 and 2009 (honourable mention 2009), then studied mathematics at Reykjavik University (BSc, 2009-2012) and computer science at the University of Oxford (MSc, 2013-2014), where he co-authored the bioinformatics paper 'StatAlign 2.0' on RNA secondary-structure prediction. He has worked as a software developer at the quantitative research and technology firm G-Research since 2018, after earlier engineering roles at babylon health, wayve, SAReye and GreenQloud and a research assistantship at Oxford.
- Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Evidence: the subject's own LinkedIn profile (and its Google-indexed title) states 'Software Developer at G-Research' from Aug 2018, an actual full-time role (not a student program/insight day); identity is supported by the matching IMO 2009 Iceland participation and education timeline. Employer classification: G-Research operates in quantitative research/technology (per its own site), so the role sits inside quantitative finance. Caveat: the role evidence is the subject's self-reported LinkedIn profile, not an independent third-party source.
- Listed on LinkedIn as Software Developer at G-Research since 2018, based in Greater London; G-Research describes itself as 'A Leading Quantitative Research and Technology Business'.Aug 2018
