Physics and Astronomy
The objective of this research was to develop a dual-methodology framework for the autonomous identification and physical characterization of lunar lava flows using multi-modal orbital data.…

Honorable_mention Award
This project examines how paper airplane performance is influenced by key aerodynamic principles, including Bernoulli’s Principle, the Coandă Effect, lift, thrust, gravity, drag, and Reynold…
Electronics & Electromagnetics (Junior Division)
I love cooking, but not having the right ingredients can sometimes be an issue. I decided to combine my interest in cooking with my interest in computer science and engineering to try to sol…
Physics and Astronomy
As the discovery of compact multi-planet systems advances, classical Newtonian dynamics are proving insufficient for predicting long-term orbital stability, resulting in over-optimistic orbi…
Electronics & Electromagnetics (Junior Division)
I've been running track for a while, but I always have trouble timing myself while training. The problem with commercially available systems is that they tend to be very expensive, and meant…
Physics & Astronomy (Senior Division)
Honorable_mention Award
This study aimed to characterize known exoplanets by performing aperture and differential photometry to generate modeled transit light curves. It was originally hypothesized that there would…

According to the World Health Organization, at least 2.2 billion people worldwide live with some form of vision impairment, and many depend on assistive tools just to get around every day. R…
Physics & Astronomy (Senior Division)
Focused ultrasound (FUS) with microbubbles can noninvasively open the blood–brain barrier (BBB) for targeted drug delivery, but the method is limited by off-target acoustic sidelobes, which…
Physics & Astronomy (Senior Division)
Second Award
The computational power of quantum computing is expected to expedite advances in fields from chemistry to machine learning. However, this potential is locked behind the high error rates of p…
Physics and Astronomy
Fourth Award
Rare flavour-changing neutral current decays such as a B->Kmu+mu- are a sensitive probe of beyond Standard Model (SM) Physics. The angular observable P5' has exhibited a persistent deviation…
Physics and Astronomy
A planet is a celestial body that orbits a star. Thousands of exoplanets (planets outside of our solar system) have been discovered to date, with many additional candidates identified by mis…
Physics and Astronomy
When transit exoplanets pass in front of their parent stars, they produce periodic but faint dips in the star's light curve. To schedule follow-up observations with ground-based telescopes a…
Physics and Astronomy
Warp drives are hypothetical solutions to Einstein's equations that might allow superluminal travel by expanding space behind a spaceship and contracting it in front. This project investigat…
Electronics & Electromagnetics (Junior Division)
Abstract Our question was “how will changing the number of coils affect the brightness and distance they will work,” and our hypothesis answering that question was that the 600 loop coil wou…
Physics and Astronomy
Second Award
Neutrino oscillation measurements aim to find fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model, but precision is limited by our inability to distinguish genuine signals from interfering nuclear…
