Schweizer Jugend forscht

My research investigates the process of leveraging large groups of rotating arrows to trace paths in two- to four-dimensional
spaces.

Luca Seth Charlier

Luca Seth Charlier

Schweizer Jugend forscht

My project studies the asymptotic density, the “proportion” within natural numbers, of several sets and often uses
them to study sums of prime numbers.

PHYSICS

Jan Adrian Kamm

My research explores the onset of swirl in elliptical liquid jets.

Mariana Reis

Mariana Reis

Luleå University of Technology

I experimentally investigate the thermal and mechanical behaviour of cometary nucleus surfaces in the Planetary Ices
Laboratory of Luleå University of Technology.

Alexander Plekhanov

Alexander Plekhanov

Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science & the Public

I developed a novel optical device and approach that emphasizes subjective patient perception and intuitive action, thus allowing a patient to determine the parameters of corrective glasses themselves.

Clément Vovard

Clément Vovard

The European Union Contest for Young Scientists

My project consisted of developing a mathematical model for the floating-arm trebuchet (a kind of catapult) using Lagrangian mechanics, and building a physical one to test the theory.
