SIYSS PARTICIPANTS 2023
BIOLOGY/BIOTECHNOLOGY
Isabel Esain Garcia
University of Cambridge
Using genome editing technologies, I re-engineer the structure of DNA in the human genome to control cancer
genes.
Kanghyeon Kim
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
My research focuses on improving the long-term performance of neural probes through effective design strategies supported by a realistic computational model
MEDICINE/BIOMEDICINE
Daniel Levin
Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science and the Public
I developed bandages that act like chemical reactors to rapidly resolve antibiotic-resistant infections.
Kevin Zhu
Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science and the Public
My research focuses on discovering new, previously undiscovered cancer DNA mutations that allow for potential early
cancer detection via blood tests.
Raul Acosta Murillo
National Network of Youth Activities in Science and Technology in Mexico (laREDMex)
My project focuses on creating a vaccine against dengue virus by combining multiple protective regions of its membrane
using computer tools.
Bastian Auer
Stiftung Jugend forscht e.V.
In my work, I have tried to minimize the electrodes needed for an ECG to allow faster treatment for the patient.
CHEMISTRY
Dániel Viczián
Hungarian Association for Innovation
My project focused on the development of nanocomposites with the ability to mimic antioxidant enzymes.
Woojin Park
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
We confirmed the possibility of using Metal Organic-Frameworks(MOFs) as long-term antioxidants
Leemen Chan
World Scientific Publishing Company
My research investigates the effect of different chemical modifications on the selectivity of eco-friendly filtration
membranes
Brandon de Greef
University of Pretoria
Determining the dielectric strength of powderized metal oxides and metal hydroxides, to decide if there is a use for them in high voltage applications.
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Xiaoyan Dai
University of Melbourne
Unlock insights into environmental flow programs’ success and challenges, promoting the sustainable water management.
Maksymilian Gozdur
The European Union Contest for Young Scientists
Finding new model of examining effectiveness of legal regulations that can enhance legislation in STEM connected fields, on the example of Polish and French criminallaw regulations.
MATHEMATICS
Jan Philipp Birmanns
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
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
Schweizer Jugend forscht
My research explores the onset of swirl in elliptical liquid jets.
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
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
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.
