ShinnYih Huang

ShinnYih Huang is a quantitative researcher and mathematician. Representing Taiwan, he won a Silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2004 and a Gold medal in 2005, ranking first overall with a perfect score. He studied mathematics at MIT (B.S., 2006-2010) and earned a Ph.D. in mathematics at Yale (2010-2015) with a thesis on Zaremba's conjecture. He then worked as a quantitative researcher in Deutsche Bank's Analytics group (2015-2019) before moving to Morgan Stanley, where index data places him in Equity Exotics Strats, latterly as Executive Director.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. An actual multi-year role exists: Quantitative Researcher at Deutsche Bank (DB Analytics group), 2015-2019, building models across rates, equities, mortgage and credit, plus a summer Quantitative Analyst internship in the same group in 2012 - employment rather than student/insight programs. Identity is supported by the IMO 2004 Silver / 2005 Gold records for Taiwan, the MIT mathematics degree, and the Yale PhD thesis 'An Improvement to Zaremba's Conjecture' (arXiv 1310.3772 / GAFA 2015, advisor Alex Kontorovich), all matching the same profile. Employer classification: Deutsche Bank is a global investment bank whose Analytics/strats function is quantitative finance; Morgan Stanley (Equity Exotics Strats, VP then Executive Director) is likewise a bank quant function. Caveat: the employment records themselves are index/LinkedIn-derived, not independently primary-source confirmed.
• LinkedIn-sourced roles place a Quantitative Researcher stint at Deutsche Bank 2015-2019 (DB Analytics; models across rates, equities, mortgage and credit) and a summer Quantitative Analyst internship in the same group in 2012 - an internship/role, not a student program.

• PhD thesis 'An Improvement to Zaremba's Conjecture' (arXiv 1310.3772, published in GAFA 2015) places him in number theory research; its 2013-2015 window sits inside the Yale PhD period, consistent with the MIT 2006-2010 -> Yale 2010-2015 education timeline.Oct 14, 2013
• IMO 2005: the same contestant won Gold ranked 1st overall with a perfect 42/42 - a checkable identity anchor tying the profile to the Taiwan IMO competitor.Jul 2005
• LinkedIn index lists a 2019 Morgan Stanley Vice President role in Equity EXO Strats (Core Modeling) followed by Executive Director from 2022; this is index-only and not independently primary-source confirmed.2022
• Yale PhD advisor was Alex Kontorovich; the Mathematics Genealogy Project lists exactly this dissertation and advisor, independently corroborating the mathematics doctorate.2015
• IMO 2004 (Athens): Shinn-Yih Huang of Taiwan won Silver, rank 65, 29 points.Jul 2004
• No personal website, blog, GitHub or X account surfaced across repeated searches; his verifiable public footprint is the IMO record, the mathematics literature, and the index/LinkedIn profile.Sep 2026
