Notes5

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn enrichment lists a past role as Quantitative Trading Intern at Jane Street (Jun 2021 - Aug 2021), a role type that is a quantitative-finance internship; Jane Street is a proprietary trading firm operating in quantitative trading (its own careers material describes quantitative trading roles). Identity is supported: the same LinkedIn record matches the MIT BS and Stanford math PhD, IMO 2016 China, and Putnam profile of this subject. Evidence is index-only (LinkedIn enrichment) and not independently confirmed by a second primary source.Jun 2021
• Index-only claim (LinkedIn enrichment, not independently confirmed): Research Scientist at Cursor.
• Represented the People's Republic of China at the 2016 International Mathematical Olympiad (official IMO results page, contestant id 26658).Jul 2016
• Index-only claim (LinkedIn enrichment, not independently confirmed): PhD student, Department of Mathematics, Stanford University; headline 'Graduate Student at Stanford'.
• Listed among MIT's top scorers in the 2018 William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition (news.mit.edu named him among the winners).Mar 4, 2019
• Index-only claim (LinkedIn enrichment): past Researcher role at Anysphere (Cursor's legal entity).
• Listed on Stanford Mathematics' public people directory, corroborating a Stanford math graduate affiliation.
• Unconfirmed lead: a Shengtong Zhang (张盛桐) gave combinatorics seminars (e.g., Triangle Ramsey numbers) in 2023; identity as the same individual as the IMO 2016 / Stanford PhD subject is NOT verified and should be treated as a separate, uncertain association.Dec 2023
