The Start of the ILO
The International Logic Olympiad started in 2024 as a partnership between Stanford University and Luminas, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Just like math and language, logic exists in the foundational fabric of society and is utilized perhaps even more so. However, logic is still severely underrepresented in modern education. Due to this gap, we started the ILO to highlight the importance of logical reasoning and problem-solving.
Academic Director
Michael Genesereth is a professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University and a professor by courtesy in the Stanford Law School. He received his Sc.B. in Physics from M.I.T. and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University.
He is most known for his work on computational logic and applications of that work in enterprise computing, computational law, and general game playing. He has taught logic for many years at Stanford and offers an annual massive online course on logic that has reached thousands of students.
He is the current director of the Logic Group at Stanford and founder and research director of CodeX (The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics).
