Recommendation for Kaloyan Lozanov
Dear Sir,
I have known Kaloyan Lozanov for 3 years, as a student from the lyceum to the
University of Sofia - the “National High School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences”, he
actively consulted with lecturers from the Faculty of Physics.
During his high-school years he has participated in every physics competition, held in
Bulgaria, and he has gained first places on a vast majority of them. A good example for his
outstanding achievements in physics Olympiads is that he became a national champion for all
ages on this year’s annual national physics competition, he was given the chance to continue his
studies at Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris after becoming a laureate of the prestigious “Concours
Général de prof. Minko Balkanski” and also won a Bronze Medal at this year’s International
Physic Olympiad (IPhO) held in Vietnam. All of those exceptional achievements he has realized
in the last year.
Kaloyan is seriously dedicated to science, during the past few years he has managed to
solve all the problems in some of the best Russian and English textbooks that one can find in
Bulgaria, which gave him very strong training and improved his understanding of physics. All of
this work he has accomplished by himself, not induced by his teachers, as his schoolwork already
exceeding the high school standards, but driven only by his own desire to extend his own
knowledge. One can see the results of this extracurricular work by looking at his exceptional
results from any competition he has participated in.
He is mainly interested in physics, but knowing him I can tell, that he is seeking deeper
knowledge in other fields of science as well. Kaloyan is an excellent student in high-school as
well and I believe that in May 2009 he will graduate from the “National High School of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences” with the highest possible results (meaning score of 6.00 on
his Bulgarian diploma).
I can definitely say, considering my lecturer’s career since 1979 until now, that Kaloyan
is a very capable student indeed and he would be among the best students anywhere in the World.
I would also like to notice that he is sociable and easily works in team. He copes very well in
team-work. In conclusion I recommend Kaloyan Lozanov without any doubt to be admitted in
the famous Trinity College of Cambridge University, where I believe he will find the right
ambience to continue his progress in physics.
Yours faithfully,
