• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Lucas Sandleris holds a role as Quantitative Researcher at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL), dated 2026- in his LinkedIn index profile; the same page's headline 'QR @ IMC' is corroborated by Google's index of the profile, and his identity is independently supported by IMO, OMA/CNBA olympiad records and Cornell education. Employer classification: IMC Trading describes itself as a global quantitative trading firm and market maker (imc.com), so this is a genuine quantitative-finance role, not merely a company name containing 'quant'. Caveat: the role title, location and date are index-only (the LinkedIn profile itself); no independent primary-source page confirming the role was found, so role detail rests on the profile index while employer classification rests on IMC's own site.Aug 2026
