academic

Nicolae Suciu represented Romania at the 25th International Mathematical Olympiad (Prague, 1984), winning a bronze medal with 18 points and a rank of 89th from 192 contestants. He was one of six Romanian team members in a squad that finished third overall, alongside gold medalists Daniel Tataru and Louis Funar. As an IMO contestant he was a secondary-school pupil at the time, born c.1965-66. No later career or adult professional identity is publicly documented under this name in the sources searched.

Notes
  • Won a bronze medal for Romania at the 25th International Mathematical Olympiad (Prague, 1984), ranked 89th of 192 with 18 points (P1=7, P2=2, P3=2, P4=7, P5=0, P6=0).Jul 1984
  • Part of a strong Romanian team that finished 3rd overall (199/252 points), alongside gold medalists Daniel Tataru (perfect 42) and Louis Funar, and silver Petru Mironescu - Suciu was the lowest-scoring of the six, suggesting he was a team member rather than its star.Jul 1984
  • His later career is not publicly documented under this name in English or Romanian sources searched (IMO records, Romanian olympiad medal rolls, academic databases); No public, source-backed identity was established between the 1984 IMO contestant and a later adult career. Named candidates checked and rejected/left unconfirmed: Dr. habil. Nicolae Suciu (b. 1955) of the Tiberiu Popoviciu Institute of Numerical Analysis / Erlangen, who was 29 and a high-school physics teacher in 1984 - a namesake; and 'prof. Nicolae Suciu', a mathematics school inspector in Sibiu county - plausibly the same man but unverified.
  • Because IMO contestants are secondary-school pupils, he was born c.1965-1966, which excludes every older namesake (e.g. the 1955-born applied mathematician) as the same person.Jul 1984
