Po-Shen Loh (born June 18, 1982) is an associate professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University[2] and the national coach of the United States' International Math Olympiad team.[3][4] Under his coaching, the team won the competition in 2015,[5] 2016, 2018,[6] and 2019[7]—their first victories since 1994.[8][9] He had previously won a silver medal for the US as a participant in 1999.[10] Loh runs a popular course to train students for the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition known as Putnam Seminar[11] and is the founder of the educational website Expii.[8][12][13] He also teaches courses on discrete mathematics and extremal combinatorics at Carnegie Mellon.[14] He graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a 4.3 GPA and was a Hertz Fellow at Princeton.
Loh is the lead developer of a contact-tracing app named NOVID[15] that uses ultrasound technology to track COVID-19 infections. The name "NOVID" is a portmanteau of "no" and "COVID."
