Development of a Predictive Model of Honey Bee Foraging Activity Under Different Climate Conditions

Zoology First Award

Pollination services provided by managed honey bees are essential to a variety of agricultural crops. In February and March, more than 80% of the nation’s beehives are rented by almond growe…

Discovery of the Smallest Ultra-short-period Exoplanet Using Novel GPU-Parallelized Phase Folding Detection System

Physics & Astronomy First Award

The longstanding question of how ultra-short-period (USP) planets form and survive so close to their host stars signifies a gap in our understanding of planetary formation in the Universe. W…

Efficacy Of Various Spice Extracts In Combating Potential Stimulant Hazards

Toxicology First Award

Caffeine pollution is a form of wastewater pollution prevalent in the United States and other parts of the globe. We hypothesized that certain spices might be able to counteract stressful st…

Exploring Academic Setting Applications of a Turing Test Derivative

Behavioral & Social Sciences First Award

Chat GPT is a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) application that can write essays in under a minute. Since its release in November 2022, it has sparked a worldwide debate about its…

How Sleep Affects Memory

Cognitive Science First Award

Sleep is critical for memory, especially your declarative memory, which is used for storing facts and information. During sleep, your brain consolidates the information you learned throughou…

Investigating the Effect of Environmental Temperature on CO2 Absorption Rate During Plant Photosynthesis

Plant Biology First Award

Plant photosynthesis is responsible for absorbing 25% of CO2 created on Earth. Research also shows indoor plants have abilities to reduce indoor air pollution. However, little attention has…

Leveraging Genetic Algorithms and Mathematical Wildfire Propagation Models to Determine Optimal Firebreak Placement

Computational Systems & Analysis First Award

Each year, wildfires destroy billions of dollars of infrastructure, cost billions of dollars to suppress, emit billions of tonnes of carbon, and claim many lives. These negative effects are…

New Generation Drug Development Pipeline from In-silico Identification to Preclinical Evaluation for Novel Drug Candidates in Glioblastoma

Mammalian Biology First Award

Glioblastoma(GBM) is the most common malignancy of the central nervous system in adults. Despite medical advancements, the continued shortfall of many treatments such as Temozolomide, alongs…

Optimizing Plant Microbial Fuel Cell Energy Output: The Effect of Anodic Substance and Configuration

Alternative Energy First Award

Fossil fuels account for the majority of our world's energy production and are also responsible for over 90% of the harmful carbon emissions in our atmosphere. Because of this, it has become…

Prevention of casualties and property damage due to home fires by using thermal imaging and software based occupancy detection

Electronics & Electromagnetics First Award

The annual loss of approximately 2,880 lives due to faulty or late alarms from fire detectors in house fires is a significant concern. To address this issue, I have developed a cost-effectiv…

Quantification and Optimization of Circular RNA Stability for Improved RNA Therapeutics

Biochemistry/ Molecular Biology First Award

As mRNA-based therapeutics like COVID-19 vaccines rapidly evolve, degradation remains a key limitation. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) possess a closed-loop structure, conferring enhanced stabilit…

Solar-Tracking Litterminator

Environmental Engineering First Award

The world is being faced with the detrimental crisis of litter pollution. Clean-up attempts would require precious human effort and widespread usage of expensive energy. However, if a robot…

Synthesis of a novel cyclic peptide-drug conjugate targeting CDCP1 for non-small cell lung cancer therapy

Chemistry First Award

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common causes of cancer deaths. Many chemotherapeutic agents non-specifically target dividing cells, thus requiring a higher dosage to a…

Tactical Drone Detection and Tracking using Machine-Learned Radio Interferometry: Lessons from Ukraine

Electronics & Electromagnetics First Award

The utility of inexpensive radio-controlled drones has never been clearer than during the present conflict in Ukraine. Remote-controlled aircraft—quadcopters, small planes, and even balloons…

Testing the Effectiveness of a Bioplastic Layer Bonded to Natural Chelating Agents on the Minimization of Lead Iodide Leaching in Perovskite Solar Cells and a Novel Antireflective Coating Derived from Corn and Lotus Leaf Imprints on the Cell

Earth & Environmental Sciences First Award

Due to the inefficiencies of silicon solar cells, scientists developed perovskite solar cells that are 20% more effective. Unfortunately, they are environmentally harmful and contain lead io…

Two-Degrees-of-Freedom Transformable Wheel

Applied Mechanics & Structures First Award

Transportation has always been crucial to urban development. In the future, in “smart cities” where automated robots become highly involved with urban living by taking on laborious tasks for…

Understanding genetic and non-genetic factors impacting mental health in teenagers

Biochemistry/ Molecular Biology First Award

Mental health in teenagers is an important topic which we want to raise awareness on. We analyzed two aspects which can potentially impact it - genetic and non-genetic. For both genetic and…

What’s in Your Water?

Chemistry First Award

Objectives: I noticed that many people drink filtered water and bottled water rather than straight tap water. I wanted to prove that tap water has no statistically significant differences wi…
