With Dr. Kamali’s support and network, Erfan was hired as a researcher at the University of Toronto while still in Grade 11.
Mathematical recognition
His achievement in the Fermat contest led to an invitation to the University of Waterloo’s EMACS camp.
A choice of futures
Erfan received offers of admission to computer science programs at the University of Toronto, the University of Waterloo and McMaster University.
His next chapter
He chose McMaster University, which offered him a $120,000 scholarship.

a list of awards.
A profile tells a different story from a results table. It brings together a student’s interests, opportunities and choices, without reducing that person to a ranking. Our Awards & Results page records achievements; the Hall of Fame celebrates the people behind them.
