As a home-schooled high school student and college student, he won many contests in mathematics and other subjects, including the 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee, 2011 Intel Science Talent Search, four International Math Olympiad medals, and three Putnam Fellowships. A 2013 report by the National Research Council called him "as famous for academic excellence as any student can be".[1] Education and competitionsAs a home-schooled high school student, O'Dorney attended classes at the University of California, Berkeley from 2007 to 2011. He was the winner of the 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee,[2] and an interview O'Dorney did on CNN with Kiran Chetry after he won the Scripps Spelling Bee later became a viral video.[3][4] During this time he was a four-time International Math Olympiad medalist, with two gold and two silver medals.[5] In 2010, he won $10,000 (half for himself and half for the Berkeley Mathematics Circle) in a national "Who Wants to Be a Mathematician" contest, held at that year's Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Francisco.[6] In 2011 he won the Intel Science Talent Search for a project entitled "continued fraction convergents and linear fractional transformations".[7][8][9] He started attending Harvard College in 2011 where he studied mathematics.[10] He placed out of Math 55A, 55B and jumped straight into graduate classes in mathematics. While at Harvard, he was a three-time Putnam fellow.[10] (His first Putnam was as a high school student.) In 2015–16, he studied Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge,[11] on a Churchill Scholarship.[13][12] In 2016 he received honorable mention for the prestigious Morgan Prize in mathematics. As of Fall 2016, he is a graduate student in mathematics at Princeton University.[13] His advisor is Professor Manjul Bhargava. Other interestsAlthough his primary interest is mathematics, O'Dorney has had a strong interest in music. In 2007, he composed a song to help memorize the digits of {{pi}}.[14] At Harvard, O'Dorney studied music as well as mathematics,[15] and continued to compose music, as well as singing in a chamber music group and playing the organ and piano.[16] References1. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7x51AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA142|page=142|title=The Mathematical Sciences in 2025|author=National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Board on Mathematical Sciences and Their Applications, Committee on the Mathematical Sciences in 2025|publisher=National Academies Press|year=2013|isbn=9780309284578}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:ODorney, Evan}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Evan O'Dorney already has formula for success|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Evan-O-Dorney-already-has-formula-for-success-2528210.php|newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle|first=Jill|last=Tucker|date=March 5, 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/top-8-spelling-bee-moments-videos/|title=The top 8 moments in Scripps National Spelling Bee history|first=Michelle|last=Jaworski|date=May 31, 2013|website=The Daily Dot}} 4. ^{{cite magazine|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/05/the-spelling-bee-obsession/394394/|magazine=The Atlantic|date=May 19, 2015|first=Terrance F.|last=Ross|title=The spelling-bee obsession}} 5. ^{{IMO results|id=18028}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ams.org/programs/students/wwtbam/jmm2010|title= A National Who Wants to Be a Mathematician at the 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings|publisher=American Mathematical Society|accessdate=2017-01-22}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Danville's Evan O'Dorney wins Intel Science Talent Search|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_17622357?nclick_check=1|newspaper=San Jose Mercury News|date=2011-03-15}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Danville HS senior named top winner in Intel competition|url=http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=8015963|newspaper=ABC7|date=March 15, 2011}} 9. ^{{cite news|publisher=CNN|date=March 17, 2011|url=http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1103/17/ltm.03.html|title=American Morning: Crisis in Japan; Americans Living Longer Than Ever; SAT Question Stumps Students; America's Next Top Student; Honoring Math & Science|format=transcript}} 10. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.math.harvard.edu/putnam/ | title=Harvard Mathematics Department Putnam Competition | accessdate=1 April 2014}} 11. ^{{cite web|work=Student Stories|url=https://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/news/2015/dec/4/student-stories/|publisher=Churchill College, Cambridge|date=December 4, 2015|title=Evan O’Dorney: Reading Part III Mathematics}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Danville whiz-kid heads to University of Cambridge as Churchill Scholar|newspaper=Chico Enterprise-Record|date=February 23, 2015|url=http://www.chicoer.com/article/ZZ/20150223/NEWS/150229056|first=Theresa|last=Harrington}} 13. ^[https://www.math.princeton.edu/directory/evan-odorney Evan O'Dorney], Mathematics Department, Princeton University, retrieved 2016-01-23. 14. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/07/07/spelling-champ-using-music-to-memorize-pi/|title=Spelling champ using music to memorize pi|first=Jeanine|last=Benca|newspaper=East Bay Times|date=July 7, 2007}} 15. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2012/1/27/Freshman-Math-Profile/?page=single|newspaper=The Harvard Crimson|date= January 27, 2012|first=Laura K.|last=Reston|title=Freshman O’Dorney Juggles Math and Music}} 16. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/03/senior-named-churchill-scholar/|title=Senior named Churchill Scholar|newspaper=Harvard Gazette|date=March 30, 2015|first=Stephanie|last=Kacoyanis}} 11 : 1993 births|Alumni of Churchill College, Cambridge|American mathematicians|Harvard College alumni|International Mathematical Olympiad participants|Living people|People from Danville, California|Putnam Fellows|Scripps National Spelling Bee participants|University of California, Berkeley people|Princeton University alumni |
