Alan Xuan
Silver medal, 2026 European Physics Olympiad (EuPhO)
High Bluff Academy celebrates the outstanding achievement of our student Alan Xuan, who earned a silver medal representing the United States at the 2026 European Physics Olympiad (EuPhO). Alan advanced through every stage of the highly selective U.S. Physics Olympiad pipeline: beginning with the national F = ma exam, qualifying for the prestigious USAPhO, and excelling on the advanced USAPhO-Plus selection exam. Alan was selected as one of only five students nationwide to join and train with the U.S. National Physics Team at the national camp hosted by AAPT.
At EuPhO, Alan competed in two demanding five-hour exams, one theoretical and one experimental, against top students from across Europe and beyond. His silver medal places him among the strongest young physicists in the world and reflects both his exceptional talent and the dedication he brings to his studies. High Bluff Academy congratulates Alan on this remarkable international achievement.
