Wahyu Perdana Yudistiawan

Wahyu Perdana Yudistiawan is a Singapore-based quantitative/risk professional. He represented Indonesia at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2003 and 2004, earning Honourable Mention both years, then completed a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (2013). His career moved into finance: market analyst/trading education at APSRI (2010-2013), Quantitative Analyst at Dynamic Technology Lab (2013), then a decade-plus at Singapore banks and a crypto exchange - Credit Suisse (2015-2016), DBS Bank (2016-2017), OCBC Bank (2017-2021), Crypto.com (2021-2023) and Standard Chartered Bank (2023-2024) - before returning to DBS Bank as Risk Manager. He holds the FRM credential and has pursued further study in financial engineering (WorldQuant University) and computer science (Georgia Tech).

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn (index-sourced enrichment of /in/wahyupy) lists four actual quantitative-finance roles held by the subject: Quantitative Analyst at Dynamic Technology Lab (2013), Quantitative Analyst at OCBC Bank (2017-2021), Quantitative Developer/Quantitative Researcher at Crypto.com (2021-2023), and Market Risk Quant at Standard Chartered Bank (2023-2024). Identity is supported by the unique matching of name, Singapore location, NTU Ph.D., and the four roles to the IMO 2003/2004 Indonesian contestant of the same name. Employer classification: OCBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank are banks where the roles are model validation/market-risk quant (quantitative-finance functions, not front-office trading); Crypto.com is a crypto exchange and trading firm; Dynamic Technology Lab is an MAS-regulated licensed fund management company that trades global financial markets using mathematical and statistical models (a quantitative fund), per its own About page. No student program, insight day, or camp is being counted as a role.
• Dynamic Technology Lab (where he was Quantitative Analyst in 2013) operates as a licensed fund management company regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, trades global financial markets, and states it relies on mathematical and statistical models to drive its investment process - a quantitative fund, not merely a firm with 'quant' in its name.2013
• By 2026 listed at DBS Bank as Risk Manager (Singapore), a return to DBS after earlier stints as Business Analyst and Market Risk Quant at Standard Chartered - the current role is on LinkedIn; it should not be projected further than the profile states.2024
• Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (2013); doctoral thesis 'Higher order Galilean invariant Lattice Boltzmann method.' B.Eng. in the same field at NTU (2004-2008), the years immediately after his IMO appearances.2013
• The IMO record and the LinkedIn career share the same name and the Singapore/NTU anchor with no conflicting namesake in the finance space, so the olympiad identity and the quant/risk career identity are treated as the same person; however the olympiad pages themselves carry no employer data, so the link rests on name plus institution/timeline alignment rather than a single page stating both.Jul 2004
• Career trajectory spans chemical-engineering research (NTU Ph.D., 2013) into quant/risk roles at Singapore banks and a crypto exchange, and then into academia-adjacent study: a Master of Science in Financial Engineering at WorldQuant University (2020-2022) and an ongoing Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology (2021-2026) - formal retooling across all three while holding full-time quant jobs, per LinkedIn education entries.2021
• Started Politikus, an online tool to track political corruption and influence in Indonesia, described in 2013 as set to launch before the 2014 Indonesian election; the project aimed to archive politicians' media coverage, voting records and public financial records - a civic-tech side project then run alongside his finance work in Singapore.2013
• Before finance, worked in market analysis/trading-education at Acute Precision & Studies Research Inc. (APSRI) in Singapore (2010-2013), giving forex-trading seminars in Jakarta and a talk at Singapore Exchange (SGX) and writing market outlooks on precious metals and energy - the earliest role touching financial markets.2010
• Represented Indonesia twice at the International Mathematical Olympiad, earning Honourable Mention both times: IMO 2003 (Japan) rank 269, score 9 (P1=0,P2=2,P3=0,P4=7,P5=0,P6=0); IMO 2004 (Greece) rank 315, score 10 (P1=7,P2=1,P3=0,P4=0,P5=1,P6=1).Jul 2004
• Other banking-technology roles: Systems Analyst at Credit Suisse (2015-2016) on BCBS 239 risk-data aggregation, and Business Analyst at DBS Bank (2016-2017) on risk-data-mart migration and credit-risk dashboards - data/risk-technology work rather than quantitative modelling.2015
• Co-authored peer-reviewed computational-physics work (e.g. 'Higher-order Galilean-invariant lattice Boltzmann model for microflow,' Phys. Rev. E, 2010; 'Hydrodynamics beyond Navier-Stokes,' 2010), accruing 75+ citations on the lead paper - a research output from the NTU Ph.D. period, distinct from his later finance career.2010
• Approximate age: a 2013 profile of his civic-tech project Politikus described him as 'a 26-year-old Indonesian currently living in Singapore', implying a birth year around 1987 - consistent with his NTU B.Eng. (2004-2008) starting right after his 2003-2004 IMO appearances.2013
