Miroslav Stankovič
Miroslav Stankovic is a Slovak computer scientist and machine learning engineer working in Vienna, Austria. He competed for Slovakia at the International Mathematical Olympiad (2013 honourable mention; also 2012), then studied mathematics at the University of Strathclyde and Artificial Intelligence & Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh before earning a PhD in Logical Methods in Computer Science at TU Wien, where his work on probabilistic-loop analysis won the Radhia Cousot Best Paper Award (SAS 2022) and a Best Paper Award at QEST 2022. He has held research and engineering internships (IPAM, National Institute of Informatics, Certora), a trading internship at Susquehanna International Group, and currently works as a Machine Learning Engineer at nyra health.
- Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Miroslav Stankovic (LinkedIn: miroslav-stankovic; identity supported by IMO 2013 Slovakia honourable mention plus the Edinburgh/Strathclyde -> TU Wien education path) has one recorded quantitative-finance role: Assistant Trader Intern at Susquehanna International Group, LLP (SIG). SIG is a genuine quantitative trading and market-making firm (its own site describes it as a global quantitative trading firm). This is an actual internship role, not a student program. CAVEAT: the role evidence is INDEX-ONLY (LinkedIn/people-index derived, not an independent primary source); treat the title/dates as index-reported. No other quant-finance employer appears: Certora is Web3 formal-verification/security (not trading), nyra health is digital neurotherapy, and the remaining internships (IPAM, NII, Metaswitch) are research/software roles. The name-based 'quant' signal is absent; SIG is the sole quant-finance link.Jan 1, 2015
- Career timeline (index-reported): Software Development Intern at Metaswitch Networks; Assistant Trader Intern at Susquehanna International Group; Applied Mathematics Research Intern at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM, UCLA); Research Intern at Japan's National Institute of Informatics (NII); Research Engineer Intern at Certora; Postdoctoral Researcher at TU Wien; then Machine Learning Engineer at nyra health. Dates are not individually given in the index, so the ordering is sequence-only.
- Won the Radhia Cousot Best Paper Award 2022 (young researchers) at the 29th Static Analysis Symposium (SAS) alongside Daneshvar Amrollahi and Marcel Moosbrugger, per TU Wien Informatics.Dec 1, 2022
- Co-authored 'This Is the Moment for Probabilistic Loops' (OOPSLA 2022), a static-analysis technique deriving higher moments for probabilistic loops, with Marcel Moosbrugger, Ezio Bartocci and Laura Kovacs.Apr 15, 2022
- Represented Slovakia at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2013 (honourable mention, 9 points, rank 335) and 2012, per the official IMO record for participant id 21326; also a Bronze Medal at the Middle European Mathematical Olympiad (MEMO) and the Slovak Ministry of Education's Award of Saint Gorazd.Jul 1, 2013
- PhD in 'Logical Methods in Computer Science' at TU Wien; undergraduate Artificial Intelligence & Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh (2015-2018) preceded by one year of Mathematics at the University of Strathclyde (2014-2015). Rooted in formal methods/program analysis under the TU Wien logic group.
- Part of a TU Wien team honoured with a Best Paper Award at QEST 2022 (inter-faculty cooperation), confirming sustained formal-methods publication output during the PhD.Sep 1, 2022
- Public research footprint: arXiv (2204.07185), Google Scholar profile and an ORCID record (0000-0001-5978-7475); a DBLP entry exists under pid 241/5425 but DBLP blocks scraping (Anubis proof-of-work).
- Current employer nyra health is a Vienna digital-health company (medical-device-certified neurotherapy for speech/cognition using ML), not a finance firm - so the ML-engineer role is outside quantitative finance.
- GitHub account miroslav21 (github.com/miroslav21) matches the probInG/probabilistic-loops research line; the account has ~1 follower and low public activity, and no personal website or blog is linked from the LinkedIn-backed profile or the GitHub account.
- Certora, where he was a Research Engineer Intern, builds formal-verification tooling for blockchain smart contracts (Web3 security), not trading - so it does not classify as quantitative finance.
