Lisa Sauermann (born 25 September 1992) is a mathematician from Germany known for her performance in the International Mathematical Olympiad, where in 2011 she had the single highest (and perfect) score, and is the first woman to achieve this distinction. She won four gold medals (2008–2011) and one silver medal (2007) at the olympiad, representing Germany.[1][2]

Sauermann attended Martin-Andersen-Nexö-Gymnasium Dresden when she was in 12th grade. She won the Franz Ludwig Gehe Prize in 2011 and the gold medal in the age group III, the 11th–12th grade competition. As a result, she won a trip to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. To achieve this, she presented a new mathematical theorem with a proof in a work entitled "Forests with Hypergraphs".[3] In 2011 she began studying mathematics at the University of Bonn.[4] She is a former graduate student of Jacob Fox at Stanford University[5] and will be an assistant professor at MIT starting summer 2021.[6]

Her sister, Anne, two years her junior, was a successful participant in math and science Olympiads at the national level.[7]
