Tristan Löb

Tristan Löb is an Austrian mathematics student at The University of Bonn and a former Austrian International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) competitor. He represented Austria at the IMO in 2021 (Honourable Mention, 10 points) and 2022 (Bronze Medal, 24 points, Oslo). A product of the Mödling Keimgasse gymnasium and Austria's national olympiad training programme, he was a five-time national Känguru der Mathematik champion and won the 2022 Dr. Hans-Riegel-Fachpreis in mathematics for his paper on primality tests.

• Bronze Medal at IMO 2022 in Oslo (24 points, rank 247, 58.2%); solved problems 1,2,4 fully (7/7/7).Jul 2022
• Honourable Mention at IMO 2021 (10 points, rank 319); a fully solved problem (7 pts) earned the HM.Jul 2021
• Now studies Mathematics at The University of Bonn and works there as a Student Assistant - a move from the Austrian high-school olympiad path into the German university system.2025
• Won the Dr. Hans Riegel-Fachpreis (1st place, Mathematics) in 2022 for his pre-scientific paper (VWA) on primality tests, judged by a MINT faculty jury at FH Wiener Neustadt.Jun 17, 2022
• Five-time national champion (Bundessieger) in Kaenguru der Mathematik; scored a perfect 150 in 2022, the top result at his school - a consistent, not one-off, edge over his cohort.May 18, 2022
• His LinkedIn headline advertises '5 times national champion' - the Kaenguru national titles are the credential he leads with alongside the IMO result.2025
• Selected for the Erwin Schroedinger Institute (Vienna) IMO Training 2021, an invite-only camp for Austria's top olympiad candidates focused on combinatorics and geometry - placed him among the country's elite youth mathematicians.Oct 27, 2021
• Competed in the Austrian Mathematical Olympiad from 2017 (grade 3B) through the 2021 national final, rising from regional to national rounds - a multi-year, deliberate olympiad track rather than a single appearance.2021
• Attended BG/BRG Moedling, Franz-Keim-Gasse (Keimgasse) gymnasium, class 8A/8ar; the school publicly celebrated his IMO qualification and Kaenguru titles.Nov 11, 2021
