Mohamed Yassine Chebil

Tunisian IMO 2024 bronze medalist and Oxford Mathematics & Computer Science undergraduate (St Edmund Hall, 2025-2028). GTF BIG Talent Scholar. Prior mathematics-expert work at Mercor (AI training data) and a 2026 summer research internship in differentiable logics at the University of Southampton.

Notes7

• Quant employment verification: NOT CONFIRMED. Both quant-adjacent leads are student activities, not roles or internships: CapitOx 'Quant Academy' is a training programme of the University of Oxford finance/consulting student society (capitox.co.uk, a student society with 3,200+ members), and 'Discover Citadel & Citadel Securities' is Citadel's own two-day undergraduate insight event (citadel.com). His only documented substantive engagements are a Mathematics Intelligence Expert contract at Mercor (AI training-data firm, mercor.io) and a 2026 summer research internship in differentiable logics at the University of Southampton (academic). No employer in his record operates in quantitative investment, trading, market-making, hedge funds, or systematic trading, so no actual quant role or internship exists to confirm.2026
• 'Discover Citadel & Citadel Securities' (2026) is Citadel's two-day undergraduate insight event, not an internship or job: Citadel's own page describes it as a two-day event offering networking and 'mock interviews' to a select group of undergraduates. Any 'quant employment' reading of this line is a misclassification.Mar 2026
• The caller-supplied role leads (CapitOx Quant Academy, Discover Citadel) are both student programs; neither is an actual quant-finance role or internship, and no employer in his record (Oxford, Southampton, Mercor, CapitOx, Citadel-events) confirms a quantitative-finance position.2026
• Across all identity-verified sources (IMO record, GTF scholar bio, LinkedIn, Mercor, Southampton) his documented work sits entirely in competition mathematics, AI training-data, and academic research, with zero verified finance-industry engagement - the finance-facing entries on his profile are student-society and insight-event programs.2026
• 'Quant Academy' under CapitOx (2026) is a CapitOx student programme, not employment: CapitOx is the University of Oxford finance and consulting society (a student society with 3,200+ members), and its academies are training programmes for student members.2026
• Named a GTF BIG (Global Talent Fund) Talent Scholar; the fund's own bio page lists him as 'Mathematics & Computer Science at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford' and 'IMO Bronze 2024' - third-party confirmation of both the Oxford course and the medal, and a funded-scholarship signal.2025
• Won a bronze medal for Tunisia at IMO 2024 (rank 238 of 609, 18 points: P1 3, P2 1, P4 7, P5 7) - the IMO official record confirms the Olympiad identity independently of any index.Jul 2024
• No public quant-technology, trading or hedge-fund employer appears across identity searches; Mercor (AI data) and Southampton (academic research) are the only two substantive past/current engagements, so the career timeline so far is education plus AI-training and academic-research work rather than finance.2026
• Worked as a Mathematics Intelligence Expert at Mercor (2025-2026, Tunis) writing and solving original advanced IMO-style problems to train large language models and evaluating AI-generated solutions; Mercor is an AI training-data/expert-marketplace company, not a quantitative-finance employer, so this is technical/ML work, not a quant role.2025
• Current role is a Summer Research Intern in differentiable logics at the University of Southampton (2026-), an academic research post rather than an industry or trading role (index-derived; listed on his LinkedIn).2026
• Enrolled in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Oxford (St Edmund Hall) 2025-2028, having completed a Tunisian Baccalaureate in Mathematics at Lycee Pilote Menzah 8 (2020-2024) - a two-year gap between the expected 2024 matriculation and 2025 suggests a post-baccalaureate year before starting at Oxford (index-derived; the Oxford course itself is corroborated by the GTF bio).
