Po-Shen Loh is an associate professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University[1] and currently the national coach of the United States' International Math Olympiad team.[2][3] Under his coaching, the team won the competition in 2015[4] and again in 2016, their first victories since 1994.[5][6] He had previously won a silver medal for the US as a participant in 1999.[7] Loh runs a popular course to train students for the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition known as Putnam Seminar[8], and is the founder of the educational website Expii.[5][9][10] In alternating semesters he teaches CMU's undergraduate course on discrete mathematics and the graduate seminar on extremal combinatorics.
