Lisa Sauermann, Mathematical Research Institute Oberwolfach 2013

Lisa Sauermann (born September 25, 1992 in Dresden ) was awarded four gold medals and one silver medal at the 2011 International Mathematical Olympiad and was the most successful participant to date.

As a student at the Martin-Andersen-Nexö-Gymnasium , Lisa Sauermann was successful in Dresden at the International Junior Science Olympiads in São Paulo and Taipei , each with a silver medal. When she last participated in 2011, she was the only one of all participants to achieve full marks. Her record at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2011 was surpassed the following year by the Serb Teodor von Burg with four gold medals, one silver medal and one bronze medal. Her successes in these competitions, as well as the successes of her sister, generated a positive response in the media.

Lisa Sauermann studied mathematics at the University of Bonn . Lisa Sauermann has been enrolled as a doctoral student at Stanford University , California, USA since the end of 2014 ; her dissertation with the title Modern Methods in Extremal Combinatorics was supervised by Jacob Fox . Since autumn 2019 she has been Szegő Assistant Professor with the research area combinatorics at the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University. She is (co-) author of numerous research papers, mainly on combinatorics and graph theory. Sauermann is married and has one daughter.

In 2020 Sauermann received the Richard Rado Prize from the Discrete Mathematics section of the German Association of Mathematicians .
