Renaissance Technologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_Technologies

Founded by Jim Simons, the "Father" of quantitative research. The firm is famous for their significant year-over-year returns and notorious for only hiring PhDs from mathematics/physics/computer science.

There is an interesting book on how Jim Simons created the company and built his team of academics from the ground up, "The Man Who Solved the Market"
