Levi van de Pol

Levi van de Pol is a Dutch mathematics student at Universiteit Utrecht and a mathematics olympian. He represented the Netherlands at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2016 (Hong Kong, bronze, 21 points) and 2017 (Rio de Janeiro, silver, 20 points), and won silver at the 2015 Benelux Mathematical Olympiad aged 13. He authored the mathematics paper 'The Growth Rate of Gijswijt's Sequence' (arXiv:2209.04657, first posted 2022, revised 2025; Journal of Integer Sequences Vol. 28, 2025), listed with a Utrecht University Department of Mathematics affiliation. His LinkedIn profile lists a 'Quantitative Research Intern' role at Jump Trading Group from September 2025 and a 'Student intern' role at InProcess-LSP (Sep 2024 - Jan 2025); these employment claims are index/LinkedIn-sourced and not independently confirmed.

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The role 'Quantitative Research Intern at Jump Trading Group' (start Sep 2025, no end date) is documented only on his LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/levi-van-de-pol-4a957519a), surfaced via an enrichment index and Google snippets of that same LinkedIn page; the LinkedIn page itself could not be read directly (Firecrawl HTTP 403). No independent source (Jump Trading careers/team page, press, or filing) corroborates the role, and index/aggregator data is not independent primary-source confirmation, so the employment claim is index-only and remains uncertain. Employer classification: Jump Trading Group (jumptrading.com) IS a quantitative/proprietary trading firm - its own site states it trades 'every asset class, every time horizon' - so the employer operates in quantitative trading; the uncertainty concerns whether this specific person held the role, not the firm's classification. Identity support: confirmed as the Netherlands IMO 2016 and 2017 contestant (imo-official.org; uu.nl) and an Utrecht University mathematics student (uu.nl; Journal of Integer Sequences affiliation); this LinkedIn profile matches on name, university and region, but no single source cross-links the LinkedIn profile to the olympiad record. A second index-only role, 'Student intern at InProcess-LSP' (Sep 2024 - Jan 2025, Oss), is likewise LinkedIn-sourced only; InProcess-LSP is a nanoparticle-measurement instrumentation firm, not a quant firm. No student program, insight day, or incoming offer was found that would establish employment.Sep 17, 2026
• He is the sole author of the mathematics paper 'The Growth Rate of Gijswijt's Sequence' (arXiv:2209.04657, submitted 10 Sep 2022, revised Aug 2025), published in the Journal of Integer Sequences Vol. 28 (2025), Article 25.4.6, with a Department of Mathematics, Utrecht University affiliation that matches his Utrecht mathematics study.Jan 1, 2025
• His LinkedIn profile lists 'Quantitative Research Intern' at Jump Trading Group starting September 2025 (no end date) and 'Student intern' at InProcess-LSP, Sep 2024 - Jan 2025; both are index/LinkedIn-sourced only and could not be read from the primary profile page (HTTP 403), so they are labelled index-only.

• Levi van de Pol competed for the Netherlands at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2016 (Hong Kong), scoring 21 points and earning a bronze medal (rank 146/602).Jul 2016
• Utrecht University's June 2016 news item names Levi van de Pol (14, Veenendaal, 3 vwo, Ichthus College Veenendaal) in the team selected to represent the Netherlands at the IMO in Hong Kong, confirming the IMO-2016 identity beyond the olympiad database.Jun 6, 2016
• As a 13-year-old second-year pupil from Veenendaal he won silver at the 2015 Benelux Mathematical Olympiad in Mersch, Luxembourg, topping the Dutch group; the report noted he could become the youngest-ever Dutch IMO participant.May 10, 2015
• The Gijswijt's-sequence paper determines the growth rate of the sequence and is associated with OEIS entries (e.g. A357064, A091787, A090822) documenting the sequence.Sep 10, 2022
