Radu Gologan is a Professor of mathematics at the University “Politehnica” of Bucharest. He is the president of the Romanian Mathematical Society and the leader of the Romanian National Team at the IMO. Starting 2004, he coordinates the editorial board of RMC. Since 1978 he has been a scientific researcher, currently gr I, at the Mathematics Institute, and since 2000 he has been a professor at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, where he usually teaches the first-year mathematical analysis course, Faculty of Automation and Computers. He has published 5 books and over 30 research articles in Romanian and foreign specialized journals. He considers that his best scientific result is the series of articles published in collaboration with Florin Boca and Alexandru Zaharescu, which solves an old problem related to a model from theoretical statistical physics: the Lorenz model in the plane. He has been a collaborator of Gazeta Matematice for over 40 years, during which time he published many notes, articles and problems. He was always a troublemaker at the Olympics. Since 2001, he is the president of the national commission of the Mathematics Olympiad and the head of the Romanian delegation to the IOM. He considers himself lucky to have a team of friends, exceptional mathematicians, with whom he sometimes achieves remarkable performances at international competitions.
