Srijon Mukherjee

Srijon Mukherjee is a computer scientist and researcher who represented India at the International Olympiad in Informatics, winning a silver medal at IOI 2016 and a bronze medal at IOI 2017 under the handle 'srijonm'. He studied Computer Science and Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a 2020-2021 MIT Quest for Intelligence Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scholar (SuperUROP) in EECS, working on anonymous peer-to-peer file sharing under Prof. Srinivas Devadas, and co-authored a 2019 paper on neural-network symbolic regression. LinkedIn-indexed data lists him as a Quantitative Researcher at The D. E. Shaw Group, a quantitative hedge fund, following a quantitative analyst internship there in 2020 and a software engineering internship at Amazon in 2019; this employment is index/aggregator-sourced and not independently confirmed by a primary source.

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only evidence of quantitative-finance employment is index/aggregator-sourced (LinkedIn enrichment, lead411), which lists a Quantitative Researcher role and a Quantitative Analyst internship at The D. E. Shaw Group, a confirmed quantitative hedge fund. No independent primary source (firm page, news, resume, talk) confirms the role, and the link between the IOI competitor identity and the D. E. Shaw profile is inferred from a shared MIT affiliation and the 'srijonm' handle rather than established by a primary source. Identity of the MIT researcher (SuperUROP, symbolic-regression paper) is primary-source confirmed; the employment is not.Sep 2026
• Index/aggregator-only claim: LinkedIn enrichment and people_search list Srijon Mukherjee as Quantitative Researcher at The D. E. Shaw Group (from 2021) with a prior Quantitative Analyst internship (2020) and a Software Engineer internship at Amazon (2019); education MIT (Computer Science, Physics). This rests on the LinkedIn index and a lead411 aggregator listing, not a primary source.Jun 2021
• Named an MIT Quest for Intelligence Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scholar (SuperUROP), 2020-2021 cohort, EECS; research 'Problems in Anonymous Peer-to-Peer File Sharing' (OblivP2P) under Prof. Srinivas Devadas. Published contact email [contact omitted].Sep 2020
• Represented India at the International Olympiad in Informatics under the handle 'srijonm', winning silver at IOI 2016 (58 pts) and bronze at IOI 2017 (91 pts).Jul 2017
• The D. E. Shaw Group is a quantitative hedge fund (its own site and Wikipedia describe a global investment firm founded on computational/quantitative trading), so the listed 'Quantitative Researcher' and 'Quantitative Analyst' roles are genuine quantitative-finance roles, not student programs or insight days.Sep 2026
