BIOLOGY/BIOTECHNOLOGY

Benjamin Clegg
Luleå University of Technology
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.

Konrad Basse Fisker
EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUYCS)
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.

Jueun Sim
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
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.

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.
MEDICINE/BIOMEDICINE

Romane Schönholzer
Schweizer Jugend forscht
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.

Rebecca Bächler
Schweizer Jugend forscht
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.

Héctor Martínez-Luna
National Network of Youth Activities in Science and Technology in Mexico (laREDMex)
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

Noelia Ares Boveda
Umeå University
My research is focused on adapting a novel method to study gene regulation in brain cancer.
CHEMISTRY

Jordan Partington
University of Melbourne
My research aims to simplify blood tests for persistent organic pollutants via Microsampling.

Jonas Simonsen
The Research Council of Norway
My research focuses on understanding foam as a chemical phenomenon and factors influencing the foaming abilities of various tensides found in soaps.

Meda Surdokaitė
The European Union Contest for Young Scientists
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.
COMPUTER SCIENCE

Bertram Madsen
Ungdommens Naturvidenskablige Forening
My project, named OSINTer, is a digital platform which aims to help specialists within cybersecurity tackle the cyberattacks of tomorrow.

Saloni Kwatra
Umeå University
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.

Joshua Shunk
Society for Science & the Public (ISEF)
My research focuses on the development and validation of an algorithm to reduce the amount of data needed to train a neural network.

Asmi Kumar
Society for Science & the Public (ISEF)
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Charmain Williams
University of Pretoria
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.

Hassan Aftab Sheikh
University of Cambridge
The project focuses on characterising magnetic anthropogenic particulate matter (PM) for air pollution monitoring purposes.
MATHEMATICS

Sinan Simon Deveci
Schweizer Jugend forscht
In my paper, I did original research in number theory, investigating phenomena related to primes, means, and logs.

Botond Mészáros
Hungarian Association for Innovation
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 high-dimensional complex system, thus reducing the computational resources needed to study the properties of the subspace.

Jim Allansson
Luleå University of Technology
My research is focused on building mathematical models that finds the most cost efficient energy storage solutions for renewable electricity.
PHYSICS

Ishaan Lohia
University of Cambridge
My research uses molecules in specially-designed gold nanostructures to convert infrared light to visible light in a process known as frequency upconversion.

Stefanie Hövermann
Stiftung Jugend forscht e.V.
My project deals with the physical and musical aspects of the sounds that are produced by blowing into bottles filled with water. I investigated the impact that the size of a bottle and its filling level has on the sound.

Xiaoqing Sun
World Scientific Publishing Company
My project focuses on investigating the motion of a bead on a rotating hoop, a classic problem used to demonstrate a mechanical phase transition.
