Po-Shen Loh appointed National Lead Coach for the USA International Mathematical Olympiad Team

The International Mathematical Olympiad is the premier math competition for high school students worldwide, and is the oldest of the International Science Olympiads. Since its inception in 1959, the Olympiad has developed a rich legacy, facilitating early talent identification and cultivation on nationwide scales. Each country independently organizes its own Olympiad program, and Po-Shen Loh, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and CMU's Putnam organizer, has been appointed to the national lead coach position ("Team Leader") for the United States of America. In addition to directing national team selection and training activities, Po-Shen is building upon the Olympiad platform to bridge the worlds of high school and research mathematics, as well as to broaden interest in mathematics on the national level.
