Yaashaa Golovanov

The following protégés from the inaugural AMMOC 2020–2023 class are now pursuing undergraduate studies in pure mathematics at California Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, University of Toronto, and Princeton University. Each received full scholarships valued between USD 330,000 and 420000.

In the second batch, Nihad, Prasanna, and Keisha were admitted to KAIST (full ride), University of Cambridge (merit scholarship), and KAIST (full ride), respectively.

Tisya Rawat, Junior at Caltech class of 2027.

Konstantinos Junior at University of Chicago, class of 2027.

Nihad Hashimov at University of Toronto, class of 2026.

Sarthak D. Dattatray incoming freshman at Princeton, Class of 2029.

Sarthak Dattatray Dhobale is a freshman at Princeton University for the class of 2029, where he has received a full scholarship to study UG in pure mathematics. He is the first Indian protege of AMMOC who was recruited in October, 2020. During his four years education at AMMOC, he did directed readings in category theory, groups, rings, fields, linear algebra, matrix groups as manifolds, Abel's impossibility theorem, and analysis on manifolds. His directed readings of these subjects culminated into his high school thesis. He typed his research work spanning over 200 pages in LaTeX. He was instrumental in decisive victories of Team-AMMOC in prestigious math tournaments PUMAC (Princeton), CMM (Caltech), SMT (Stanford), and BMT (Berkeley). He has won over 60 international honors and distinctions in the prestigious contests of the USA, Canada, Australia, India, and Asia. In particular, he has qualified for the USAMO (2025) with a remarkable score of 275.5 [145.5 on AMC + 13 on AIME]. Since 2021, he has won 14 distinctions in various international contests of CEMC at the University of Waterloo, 4 of the Canadian Mathematical Society, 4 in contests of Australian Mathematics Trust, two distinguished honorable mentions in algebra and geometry papers of BMT (Berkeley) and one in SMT (Stanford), and three distinctions in AMC 12 A and 12 B. Certificates corresponding to each one of his achievements are available at his academic website. He is currently doing research in differential geometry.
Tisya Chandrashekhar Rawat is a junior at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) class of 2027, with a full scholarship, for a double major in Mathematics and Physics. She is currently doing her directed research study in calculus of variations and PDE. The document "Foundational Studies in Mathematics and Physical Sciences" describes Tisya's scientific learning with Golovanov. When Caltech accepted her, after two weeks, she received a FedEx package that contained a "letter of exceptional appreciation from Caltech" stating that "We were really impressed by your research on classical theorems, which was her high-school thesis at AMMOC." Her current GPA at CALTECH is 4.0.
Konstantinos Charalampous is a junior at the University of Chicago, class of 2027, for undergraduate studies in Mathematics. The University of Chicago has given him a full scholarship of amount 370000 USD. A citizen of Cyprus who won Honourable Mention in the most prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). He also received admission offers and scholarships from Imperial College London, University of Toronto, and University of Saint Andrews. Also, as an acknowledgement, here you can find Letter of Appreciation for me, from the University of Chicago. His current GPA is 3.87.
Nihad Hashimov is a citizen of Azerbaijan and is a freshman at the KAIST [on a full scholarship] to study UG in math, class of 2029. He was admitted to AMMOC under the category of talented but disadvantaged student. He joined AMMOC in December 2023 and won honors such as the Certificate of Excellence for qualifying to compete on AIME, where he scored 8. He won a distinguished honorable mention on the Berkeley Math Tournament, an honorable mention again in BMT, and two honorable mentions in SMT of Stanford. He was one of the highly contributing members in CMM (Caltech), SMT (Stanford), and BMT (Berkeley). He won distinction in the Australian math competition and is currently qualified to attend the TST of his national team for the IMO. As part of his research apprenticeship, he also did work in mathematical analysis and group theory, typing over 50 pages of his research work on par with those done at REU of the University of Chicago. This finally became his high-school thesis. He also published his original solutions in the Mathematical Reflections and Crux Mathematicorum, a journal of the Canadian Mathematical Society.
Prasanna Mahesh Pawar is an incoming freshman at the KAIST [on a full scholarship] to study UG in pure mathematics, class of 2030. He is one of the most scholarly cultivation of AMMOC ever. He joined AMMOC in June 2021. During his five years of research and olympiad apprenticeship at AMMOC, he underwent systematic training in Groups, Rings, Fields, Module, and Galois Theory which culminated into his senior thesis [180 pages]. He was also one of the highest contributing pupil of AMMOC in prestigious journals such as Crux Mathematicorum and Mathematical Reflections. His combined contribution to these two journals is accessible here.
