Le Anh Dung, a Vietnamese student at the Gymnazium School in Tachov city, the Czech Republic, has won two silver medals at the 2011 and 2012 International Mathematics Olympiads (IMO).

Dung was born in 1993 in Russia and moved to Tachov in the Czech Republic with his parents when he was studying at the Hanoi-Amsterdam High School for Gifted students.

He won a number of Czech National Mathematics Olympiads and became the only overseas Vietnamese (OV) to represent the Czech Republic at the 52nd IMO 2011 in the Netherlands and the 53rd IMO 2012 in Argentina.

Dung was presented certificates of merit by the Overseas Vietnamese Association and other organizations in the Czech Republic, as well as the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs.

Dung said that he is happy to have won medals for the Czech Republic, but he is still proud to be a Vietnamese citizen.

Dung will return to the Czech Republic for his final year in high school after his summer holiday in Vietnam. He expects to win a scholarship to the Cambridge University in the UK and intends to study pure mathematics in the future.

“My dream is to become a mathematician like Professor Ngo Bao Chau,” he said.
