– How to get to the Mendeleev Olympiad?
Studying past exams is crucial when preparing for the Mendeleev Olympiad. Look for patterns, learn the competition's chemistry style, and analyze your mistakes to improve systematically.
– What were your impressions of the 58th Mendeleev Olympiad?
It felt like being an athlete competing over three intense days. I constantly adjusted strategies, tackling each stage with focus and adaptability. A unique experience compared to other Olympiads I’ve participated in.
– What is the strength of an olympiadist?
I’m currently pursuing engineering at the University of São Paulo’s Polytechnic School. Years of studying chemistry taught me more than just cyclic molecules or solving Michaelis-Menten mechanisms with graph theory — it gave me patience and perseverance, my greatest legacy from Olympiad days.
– Have you wanted to study chemistry since you were a child?
I stumbled into chemistry by chance but quickly fell in love with molecular transformations, reaction mechanisms, and the logic of nomenclature rules.
– Are you doing science now?
I’m actively exploring research groups at my university, seeking opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge projects in chemical engineering or applied chemistry.
– Give advice to those who want to get involved in IMChO
Commit fully, stay patient, and persevere. The effort will pay off in ways you can’t yet imagine.
