Susquehanna International Group, LLP (SIG) · Chicago, Illinois · engineer
IMO 2008 Silver Medalist For IranPhD Mathematics, University Of Chicago (2018)Published Researcher In Probability And Numerical Linear AlgebraAffiliation Listed As Susquehanna International Group On Peer-reviewed Papers

Mathematician and quantitative researcher; IMO 2008 silver medalist for Iran. PhD in Mathematics from the University of Chicago (2018, advisor Gregory F. Lawler), dissertation 'On Multiple SLE Measures'. Published on noisy group testing, Schramm-Loewner evolution, and randomized block numerical linear solvers. Research papers list his affiliation as Susquehanna International Group (SIG). A LinkedIn/index record identifies him as a Quantitative Researcher at SIG in Chicago; that specific current role is index-only and not independently confirmed, though the SIG affiliation itself is corroborated by peer-reviewed paper affiliations.

Mohammad Jahangoshahi is a mathematician and quantitative researcher. He represented the Islamic Republic of Iran at the 2008 International Mathematical Olympiad, earning a silver medal (rank 48, 91.2%). He completed a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Chicago in 2018 under Gregory F. Lawler, with a dissertation on multiple-path Schramm-Loewner evolution. His published research spans probability theory (multiple SLE) and numerical linear algebra (randomized iterative linear solvers), co-authored with Vivak Patel and Daniel Adrian Maldonado. His research papers list his affiliation as Susquehanna International Group in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

Notes
  • Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Mohammad Jahangoshahi is a mathematician with a verified identity (UChicago PhD 2018; IMO 2008 Iran silver medalist) whose published numerical-linear-algebra papers state his affiliation as Susquehanna International Group, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, established by the author affiliation lines on his arXiv papers (arXiv:2104.04816, arXiv:2204.01653) and the SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications paper 'An Implicit Representation and Iterative Solution of Randomly Sketched Linear Systems'. SIG is a global market-making/proprietary trading firm, i.e. a genuine quantitative-finance employer. His specific job title 'Quantitative Researcher' rests on the LinkedIn/index enrichment record alone (index-only) and is not independently confirmed, but the quant-finance employment itself is confirmed by author-affiliation evidence.Apr 10, 2021
  • PhD in Mathematics, University of Chicago, 2018; dissertation 'On Multiple SLE Measures' (also listed as 'On multiple-path Schramm-Loewner evolution'); advisor Gregory F. Lawler.2018
  • Represents Iran at IMO 2008 with a silver medal, rank 48 overall (91.2%), scoring 30 points (7,7,0,7,7,2 on problems 1-6).Jul 2008
  • Appears on the University of Chicago Department of Statistics PhD Alumni page (graduates closely associated with the department), where the entry reads 'Mohammad Jahangoshahi, Quantitative Researcher' — an index/aggregator-style claim for the current title, not independent primary-source confirmation.2025
  • Co-authored three numerical-linear-algebra papers with Vivak Patel and Daniel Adrian Maldonado ('An Implicit Representation and Iterative Solution of Randomly Sketched Linear Systems', 2019/2021; 'Convergence of Adaptive, Randomized, Iterative Linear Solvers', 2021; 'Randomized Block Adaptive Linear System Solvers', 2022/2023), a distinct research thread from his probability PhD work.Apr 4, 2022
  • Co-authored 'GROTESQUE: Noisy Group Testing (Quick and Efficient)' (arXiv:1307.2811), an influential information-theory paper on noisy group testing with Sheng Cai, Mayank Bakshi and Sidharth Jaggi; an earlier work predating his Chicago PhD.Jul 10, 2013
  • Co-authored 'On the smoothness of the partition function for multiple Schramm-Loewner evolutions' (arXiv:1710.00854) with his advisor Gregory F. Lawler, part of his PhD-area research.Oct 2, 2017
  • Invited seminar talk 'Fast and Robust Sparse Recovery: New Algorithms and Applications' at the Institute of Network Coding, CUHK, indicating an academic talk footprint in sparse-recovery research.
