<span style="font-size:12px">Dragos Hrimiuc took his PhD in Romania and has been an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta since 2002. He has taught many courses and received outstanding assessments from students who praise both his dedication and ability to inspire in them a love and understanding of mathematics.<br>
<br>
In addition, Dragos has committed himself significantly to mathematical outreach. He has been a board member of the Alberta High School Mathematics Competition (AHSMC), the first province-wide high school mathematics competition in Canada, since 1999 and is its current President. He is also one of the founders of Pi in the Sky, a PIMS publication intended for high school teachers and their students, and is a regular contributor to the magazine, writing articles on problem solving strategies as well as editing the Math Challenges section.<br>
<br>
Martin Barlow, PIMS Interim Director, remarked, "Dragos Hrimiuc is an outstanding educator, who has inspired many students over his years of teaching and has done much to communicate the essence of mathematical thought to high school students and undergraduates.”<br>
