Jovan Bengin

Jovan Bengin is a Serbian competitive programmer who represented Serbia at the International Olympiad in Informatics in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, winning three bronze medals (2019-2021) and a silver medal in 2022. He studied at the Mathematical Grammar School in Belgrade and, per LinkedIn profile data, pursued a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at the University of Belgrade. His indexed professional history lists research internships at the Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (2024, 2025) and at Huawei (Warsaw, 2023; Huawei Technologies R&D Belgium, 2024), plus participation in the Discover Citadel spring insight programme in 2024. He also competed in the ICPC World Finals (2023, 25th place) and co-authored a 2025 paper in the journal Mathematics (MDPI) on finite-element analysis of torsional divergence of carbon plates.

Notes3

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only quant-finance-adjacent entry in the indexed employment history is 'Discover Citadel (Spring Insight) Participant', Citadel, London, 2024 - a spring insight programme, which is a student program/insight day and NOT an internship or employment, and therefore does not qualify as quant employment under the stated criteria. No other role in the indexed history is at a trading, market-making, hedge-fund, or systematic-trading firm: the remaining roles are academic research internships (Mathematical Institute SANU) and industry research internships at Huawei. The caller's only employment lead (Citadel Discover) is therefore a non-qualifying student programme, not an actual role. Identity: supported by the IOI statistics record (Serbia, 2019-2022, same name) plus the LinkedIn enrichment showing an IOI-consistent timeline; the employment history is index-only (LinkedIn enrichment), not independently corroborated by a separate primary source, so the finding is recorded as UNRESOLVED rather than NOT CONFIRMED (absence in a single aggregator does not prove absence of roles).
• The full indexed career timeline is research-oriented rather than finance-oriented: Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (Research Intern, 2024 and 2025, current) and Huawei (Research Intern, Warsaw 2023; Huawei Technologies R&D Belgium NV, 2024), with the sole exception being the 2024 Discover Citadel spring insight programme, which is a student program rather than employment.
• Represented Serbia at four consecutive International Olympiads in Informatics (2019-2022), winning Bronze in 2019, 2020 and 2021 and Silver in 2022, per the IOI official statistics record.
• Co-authored a peer-reviewed paper in Mathematics (MDPI), 'Mathematical Modeling and Finite Element Analysis of Torsional Divergence of Carbon Plates with an AIREX Foam Core', published 21 Aug 2025, with Mirko Dinulovic, Mato Peric, Dragi Stamenkovic and Marta Trninic - consistent with the research-internship track rather than finance.Aug 21, 2025
• Competed at the ICPC World Finals 2023, placing 25th - a university-level competitive-programming credential on top of the four IOI appearances.2023
• IOI 2022 score was 316.77 (rank 52/349), his best result - the jump from three consecutive bronzes to a silver in his final year is the only medal-progression signal in the record.
• Education: Mathematical Grammar School (Belgrade) high-school diploma then a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at the University of Belgrade, spanning roughly 2022-2026 (LinkedIn/index data).
• Known online as 'JovanB' (Codeforces handle), the alias attaching his competitive-programming record to the same person across IOI, ICPC and Codeforces.
