About me
About me
My name is Matthew Liu, and I am a 17-year-old student from Canada. I am a Grade 12 student at Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, a world-renowned program for High School Students, since September 2023.
In 2023, I was accepted to PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Learning), a computer science and discrete mathematics summer program at Princeton University under Dr. Rajiv Gandhi, PhD.
In 2024, I was accepted to Harvard's 7-Week Summer Program and took the "Intensive Introduction to Computer Science" course, CSCI S-111, under Dr. David G. Sullivan, PhD. I received an A Grade, the highest possible grade in the course.
I am a former Canadian top-50 speedcuber and a classical pianist certified as an Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) and provincial finalist at the Ontario Music Festivals Association.

Number Theory
Number Theory
The proof for the formula for the sum of the first n squares blew my mind, and was my first introduction to mathematical induction, the idea that made me fall in love with number theory.
Combinatorics, Probability, Statistics

This graph was my prediction for the probability distributions of some of the fastest speedcubers in Canada to achieve a certain time. I used this data to predict who would win the 2023 Canadian Championship.
Theoretical Computer Science
Theoretical Computer Science
Algorithm Design and Analysis (such as those of Sorting Algorithms), Recursion (and backtracking), and Data Structures (such as arrays and linked lists) are a part of Theoretical Computer Science. I have experience in these fields due to my involvement at Harvard and Princeton.
