USACO Staff

The USACO is currently organized by Dr. Brian Dean, Professor of Computer Science at Clemson University, along with a talented and dedicated volunteer coaching staff, most of whom are undergraduate or graduate students at top computing universities. Dr. Rob Kolstad, our former head coach, continues to play an advisory role in the organization.
