Rémy Oudompheng

Software engineer and architect with a mathematics research background. PhD in algebraic geometry (Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis, 2010) after studies at the École normale supérieure; IMO 2002 silver medalist for France. Career as an ingénieur de recherche (SunGard, Paris) and, per LinkedIn-indexed data, quantitative-research software engineering at BNP Paribas CIB. Active in open-source: Go standard library, cryptography research, and Arch Linux packaging.

Notes7

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. LinkedIn-indexed data (an aggregator, not an independent primary source) shows quantitative-research software engineering at BNP Paribas CIB from 2011; a primary academic page records a research-engineer post at SunGard (Paris). Awaiting primary-source confirmation of the BNP Paribas CIB role.
• Career sequence, read as a whole: mathematics PhD at Nice (2010) -> ingénieur de recherche at SunGard, Paris (recorded on his advisor's students page) -> by 2011 a 'Software Engineer - Quantitative Research' at BNP Paribas CIB (index-only). The trajectory moves from academic mathematics into financial-software/engineering; the SunGard stop appears brief and is followed by the longer, still-current BNP Paribas CIB tenure per the indexed dates.2011
• INDEX-ONLY claim (LinkedIn-sourced enrichment, not independently confirmed by a primary source): Software Engineer - Quantitative Research at BNP Paribas CIB (2011-2015) rising to Lead Software Engineer - Quantitative Research (2015-present), based in Montreuil, Ile-de-France.
• His former PhD advisor Arnaud Beauville's official students page lists 'Remy Oudompheng (10), Ingenieur de recherche a SunGard (Paris)' - a research-engineer post at SunGard, a financial-services software/processing company (later acquired by FIS in 2015).
• His verifiable public output is mathematics- and security-oriented (Go standard-library numerics, MuMax3 micromagnetics, SIDH cryptanalysis, Arch Linux packaging) with no finance-domain open-source, so the 'Quantitative Research' label in the indexed BNP role most plausibly denotes a software-engineering seat inside a quant-research group rather than researcher-facing trading work.
• Silver medal for France at IMO 2002 (Glasgow): rank 40/479, total 28 (7,7,1,7,5,1); listed in the IMO France hall of fame.
• Earned a PhD in mathematics in 2010 at the Universite de Nice-Sophia Antipolis (now Universite Cote d'Azur), supervised by Arnaud Beauville; thesis titled 'Periods of an arrangement of six lines and Campedelli surfaces' (algebraic geometry).
• Open-source/technical footprint: GitHub user 'remyoudompheng' (63 public repos); contributed math/big fixes to the Go standard library, co-authored the MuMax3 micromagnetics paper, and implemented the direct-isogeny step of the Castryck-Decru SIDH attack (IACR ePrint 2022/1107).
• Alumnus of the Ecole normale superieure (mathematics and computer science), per his own personal page and LinkedIn-indexed education.
• Personal page describes him as a former PhD student, then 'ingenieur de recherche en informatique' (research engineer in computer science); research with Beauville on moduli spaces of vector bundles on curves / generalized theta functions.
• His personal ENS-era page still carries the École normale supérieure address ([contact omitted] / normalesup.org) and a 2011-era publication list, so it documents his academic period but predates any current employer and cannot corroborate the BNP Paribas role.
