Tejaswi Navilarekallu is a mathematician (PhD, Caltech 2006, thesis on the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture under Matthias Flach; BSc Chennai Mathematical Institute 2001) and an IMO 1998 gold medalist for India. After a postdoc at IISc and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a visiting-research stint at HBCSE (TIFR), the indexed LinkedIn profile lists him as Head of Research at the Amsterdam proprietary trading firm Da Vinci Derivatives, with earlier Researcher and Head of Research roles at Optiver. Employment claims from the index are not yet corroborated by an independent primary source.

Notes
  • Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. Index (LinkedIn-derived) lists Researcher and Head of Research at Optiver and Head of Research at Da Vinci Derivatives, but this is an aggregator/index claim pending primary-source confirmation; identity rests on a name-variant match (Tejaswi N / Tejaswi Navilarekallu) against the roster name N.Venkataramana Tejaswi.2026
  • Identity link: the roster name 'N.Venkataramana Tejaswi' (IMO 1998, India) is asserted to correspond to mathematician Tejaswi Navilarekallu; the connecting evidence is a CV that is not yet independently read here, so the Olympiad identity remains a medium-confidence lead rather than confirmed.1998
  • Served as Coordinator and Problem Selection staff for EGMO 2020 (European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad), credited as Tejaswi 'TJ' Navilarekallu - a direct, primary-source tie to the Olympiad/mathematics-education ecosystem.2020
  • PhD in Mathematics, California Institute of Technology, 2006; dissertation 'On the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture', advisor Matthias Flach (Mathematics Genealogy Project, MGP ID 98962).2006
