My research focuses on the spray-drying encapsulation of probiotics in kale and carrot juice powder by investigating their microbial, physiochemical and functional properties
Honglin Chen
University of Melbourne
CRISPR/Cas13 offers a promising new approach to precision cancer treatment by targeting and destroying cancerous RNA with high specificity, potentially overcoming the limitations of traditional therapies.
Julia Riek
Schweizer Jugend forscht
Which environmental factors are decisive and how do they influence the decision to hatch or enter diapause in the butterfly Papilio machaon (Swallowtail)?
Dominika Csáki
Hungarian Association for Innovation
In my research,
I used artificial intelligence to help better understand fish behaviour.
Aurelia Monserrat Santos Dolores
National Network of Youth Activities in Science and Technology in Mexico (laREDMex)
My project focuses on rainwater collection that reduces drinking water consumption at home.
Florian Reddel
Stiftung Jugend forscht – Germany
The objective of my research is the development of a process mechanism with enhanced efficacy for the production of a biomaterial derived from plant tissue and biomedical applications.
Ria Kamat
Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science and the Public
My research focuses on stopping bone cancer from spreading to other body systems by manipulating the bone remodeling system
CHEMISTRY
Piotr Olbryś
The European Union Contest for Young Scientists
Using quantum calculations, I designed new and sustainable materials for the batteries.
Jimin Lee
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
My research focuses on designing hydrogen peroxide-responsive small molecules that effectively modulate multiple pathological factors of Alzheimer’s disease.
ENGINEERING
Alyssa Göranssson
Luleå University of Technology
My research focuses on how carbon capture technologies can be implemented to further reduce carbon emissions from steelmaking.
Melina Sattelmeier
Luleå University of Technology
I numerically investigate how pumped hydropower storage affects the thermal conditions in hydropower reservoirs with the aim of finding ways to reduce its environmental impacts.
Samira Baumann
Schweizer Jugend forscht
My research project focuses on the development of a wireless system for communication in water that can provide a sufficiently high data rate to control various devices or transmit information.
PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS
Davide Farassino
Schweizer Jugend forscht
I investigated a double pendulum to see how well a neural network can predict the behaviour of chaotic systems.
Aleksandra Petkova
The European Union Contest for Young Scientists
My project proposed the best theoretical model for ship wakes so far and was one of the first to experimentally investigate the narrow angle regime
Hilary Chee
World Scientific Publishing Company
I investigate the time-dependent retraction speed of a fragmenting soap film bound by a Slinky spring through formulating a force-based theoretical model and corroborating it with experiments.
Julien-Pierre Houle
Youth Science Canada
I developed an algorithm to compute Green’s function on a quantum computer, yielding results consistent with those obtained through classical numerical methods.
Shuhan Luo
Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science and the Public
This research focuses on explaining hadronization, the process of quarks and gluons combined with each other into hadrons, happening at the very start of the universe and in particle colliders.
Theodor Anton Sivager
The Danish Youth Association of Science
My project aims to integrate secondary sounds from the splashes of raindrops into acoustic rainfall measurements
Anna Oliva
Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science & the Public
My research is on the trajectory of a point-like object moving in a boundary shaped like a square or a rectangle and reflecting off the boundary with a constant angle.
