Paisan Nakmahachalasint is a mathematician and lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. He works on functional equations, particularly Hyers-Ulam-Rassias and Ulam-Gavruta-Rassias stability, within algebra and number theory. He earned a Ph.D. in Physics (2001) and M.S. in Physics (1996) from UCLA and a B.S. in Physics with first-class honors from Chulalongkorn University (1993). He represented Thailand at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1989 and 1990. He has served as a coach/leader for Thailand's IMO team in later years.

Notes
  • Won bronze medals for Thailand at the IMO in both 1989 (rank 129/259, 20 pts) and 1990 (rank 96/..., 20 pts), a rare back-to-back medal run.1990
  • Won bronze medals for Thailand at the IMO in both 1989 (rank 129, 20 pts) and 1990 (rank 96, 20 pts) - a rare back-to-back medal run, and the origin of a career that returned to the Olympiad as Thailand's Team Leader at IMO 2009.1990
  • PhD (2001) and MS (1996) in Physics from UCLA before joining Chulalongkorn University's mathematics faculty, so he is a physicist by training who moved into pure mathematics (functional equations) - an unusual pivot.Sep 30, 2020

  • Served as Team Leader of the Thailand IMO delegation in 2009, staying embedded in Olympiad training decades after his own medals.2009
  • Primary research is the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias and Ulam-Gavruta-Rassias stability of functional equations, largely with Thai graduate co-authors (Towanlong, Petapirak, Wiwatwanich, Kusollerschariya) - built a local school of functional-equation stability research at Chulalongkorn.2008
