Wojciech Nadara is a computer scientist at the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics (MIMUW), where he holds an assistant-professor (adiunkt) affiliation and earned his PhD with the dissertation 'Graph Width Parameters: Dependencies, Algorithms and Applications'. He represented Poland at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2012 (silver medal) and the International Olympiad in Informatics 2012, and competes as 'Swistakk', a Codeforces legendary grandmaster (max rating 3105). His research centers on graph width parameters, parameterized and dynamic graph algorithms. His LinkedIn profile lists a Quantitative Research Internship at G-Research (Jun-Aug 2017) plus software-engineering internships at Facebook, imo messenger, CodiLime and NVIDIA (deep learning).

Notes
  • Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only employment lead in quantitative finance is G-Research, Quantitative Research Intern, 2017-06 to 2017-08, which appears solely in index/LinkedIn enrichment data (source ff1df) and is not independently confirmed by a primary G-Research or news source. G-Research is classified as a quantitative finance employer (quantitative research and algorithmic trading firm), so IF the internship is accurate it would qualify as a real quant role; the identity of the profile is otherwise well supported, but because the employment signal is index-only it is retained as UNRESOLVED rather than CONFIRMED.
  • No independent primary source (G-Research website, press release, or news article) was found confirming a G-Research role; the only evidence is the LinkedIn-derived index entry, so the internship should be treated as unverified until corroborated.
  • Represented Poland at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2012, earning a silver medal (25 points, rank 64).
  • Represented Poland at the International Olympiad in Informatics 2012.
  • Earned a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Warsaw (MIMUW) with the dissertation 'Graph Width Parameters: Dependencies, Algorithms and Applications'.
  • Holds an assistant-professor (adiunkt) affiliation at the University of Warsaw's Institute of Informatics (MIMUW).
  • Competes on Codeforces as 'Swistakk', reaching legendary grandmaster with a maximum rating of 3105.
  • Research spans graph width parameters, parameterized complexity, and dynamic graph algorithms, with publications at ESA 2022 and SODA 2021 (e.g. arXiv 2205.02656).
  • Public academic contact email: [contact omitted].
  • Past listed software/ML internships include NVIDIA (Deep Learning Intern), Facebook (Software Engineering Intern), imo messenger, and CodiLime (all listed on the LinkedIn-derived index, not independently confirmed).
  • Universal Cup silver medalist (2025, 2026).
