SIYSS ABSTRACTS
2022
Charmain Williams - University of Pretoria - Environmental studies
I tested if using live larvae of the species Galleria mellonella, which can metabolize PE plastic into ethylene glycol, would be environmentally safe and concluded that it would not
Botond Mészáros - Hungarian Association for Innovation - Mathematics
In my research, I have provided a sufficient condition for when and how to determine the
deterministic time evolution of a low-dimensional subspace using the time evolution of a highdimensional complex system, thus reducing the computational resources needed to study the
properties of the subspace.
Xiaoqing Sun - World Scientific Publishing Company - Physics
My project focuses on investigating the motion of a bead on a rotating hoop, a classic problem used to demonstrate a mechanical phase transition.
Saloni Kwatra - Umeå University - Computer Science
With the spread of AI, users/data subjects are becoming increasingly worried about how their personal information is being used or even exploited without their permission for commercial and political objectives.
Konrad Basse Fisker - EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUYCS) - Biology
My project is studying the Dsup protein’s ability to increase the radiotolerance of a single celled alga, resulting in a super nutritious crop which can be grown under high radiation levels, for example on Mars.
Rebecca Bächler - Swiss Youth in Science - Biomedicince
The focus of this project lies on communicating a scientific subject (the neurobiology behind physical reactions to emotions) to children with the help of a picture book.
Ishaan Lohia - University of Cambridge - Physics
My research uses molecules in specially-designed gold nanostructures to convert infrared light to visible light in a process known as frequency upconversion.
Benjamin Clegg - Luleå University - Biology
The aim of this project is to ensure that joint replacements are biologically safe when they are implanted into patients, specifically the polymers that act as the natural cartilage in these implants.
Joshua Shunk - Society for Science & the Public (ISEF) - Computer Science
My research focuses on the development and validation of an algorithm to reduce the amount of data needed to train a neural network.
Stefanie Hövermann - Stiftung Jugend forscht e.V. - Physics
My research focuses on the analysis and calculation of the sounds that are produced by blowing into different bottles filled with water.
Héctor Martinez-Luna - National Network of Youth Activities in Science and Technology (la REDMEX) - Medicine
My research focuses on the use of the novel mobile app DeAlta to enhance patient-physician communication and thus prevent drug-resistant Tuberculosis in Mexico
Jueun Sim - Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) - Biotechnology
We developed a novel bio-imaging technique, whole-body ExM, which enables 3- dimensional, nanometer resolution imaging throughout the whole vertebrate for the first time
Emirhan Kurtulus - Society for Science & the Public (ISEF) - Computer Science
Cancer and cranial diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. We propose the first end-to-end deep learning pipeline for calculating cranial surgery risk factors to plan with minimal neurological damage.
Asmi Kumar - Society for Science & the Public (ISEF) - Computer Science
I built FollowMe, a novel AI-powered web application providing free, at-home, individualized therapy and quantitative results tracking for cortical visual impairment,
enabling more effective care.
Meda Surdokaité - EU Contest for Young Scientists - Chemistry
With my work, I targeted optimization of the synthesis of the dye ”Nile Red” by having in mind: accessibility for others, safer environmental approach and offered regulations from experts.
Jordan Partington - University of Melbourne - Chemistry
My research aims to simplify blood tests for persistent organic pollutants via Microsampling.
Jonas Simonsen - Research Council of Norway - Chemistry
My research focuses on understanding foam as a chemical phenomenon and factors influencing the foaming abilities of various tensides found in soaps.
Romane Schönholzer - Schweizer Jugend forscht - Medicine
Aromatherapy proposes to use aromatic material for improving psychological and physical well-being. To test the efficacy of this therapy, we quantified the effect of essential oils on the autonomic nervous system and our emotions.
Jim Allansson - Luleå University - Mathematics
My research is focused on building mathematical models that finds the most cost efficient energy storage solutions for renewable electricity.
Sinan Deveci - Schweizer Jugend forscht - Mathematics
In my paper, I did original research in number theory, investigating phenomena related to primes, means, and logs.
Bertram Madsen - Ungdommens Naturvidensablige Forening - Computer Science
My project, named OSINTer, is a digital platform which aims to help specialists within cybersecurity tackle the cyberattacks of tomorrow.
Hassan Aftab Sheikh - University of Cambridge - Environmental Studies
The project focuses on characterising magnetic anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) for air pollution monitoring purposes.
Noelia Ares Boveda - Umeå University - Medicine
My research is focused on adapting a novel method to study gene regulation in brain cancer
