I made a web based garbage classifier that will sort different segregations of garbage. It uses python and streamlit to make an application where you can upload an image and have it return w…
CYSF · 2025
Humans produce so much garbage which in turn creates high amounts of pollution. In order to battle this we have decided to create a budget friendly garbage to energy converter which takes th…
Biomedical Engineering
My research this year was devoted to creating a non-invasive method to efficiently detect gastrointestinal conditions without causing harm to the digestive tract, as GI diseases affect milli…
Systems Software
Second Award
Traditional operating systems use multiple abstraction layers that simplify development but restrict customization and optimization. Gate OS, a Rust-based exokernel, minimizes abstraction ov…
The ability to engineer metamaterials with properties and functionalities not found in nature is a revolutionary concept with exciting technological applications. Mechanical metamaterials us…
Physics and Astronomy
The purpose of this experiment was to test the strength of 3D-printed gears with different infill levels. Infill refers to how much material is used for the inner portion of an item. This id…
Loudoun In order to resolve crucial global issues, the widespread application of genetic engineering at an industrial level is key. However, the majority of synthetically engineered strains…
Mathematics
The occurrence of Pi in the Mandelbrot set is a phenomenon which has been known since its discovery in 1991. It has enjoyed great popularity among mathematicians ever since, even appearing o…

Silver Medal
Linkers play a critical role in the stability, efficacy, and safety of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). This project leverages a diffusion-based generative model to design novel linker struc…
Animal Sciences
Third Award
Fire ants cause billions of dollars of economic damage every year, and common control methods kill all insects in a given area, even advantageous ones. As my local community is highly effect…
Biochemistry
Fourth Award
Oligonucleotides, especially siRNAs, have been identified as a point of interest due to their capability for precision targeting of "undruggable" targets. siRNAs (Small Interfering RNA) bind…
Mathematics
Generating all possible Feynman diagrams is crucial in quantum field theory for computing interaction amplitudes. In scalar phi-4 theory, characterized by four-point interaction vertices, th…

Robotics and Intelligent Machines
Accurate prediction of gene expression from chromatin accessibility data is essential for understanding transcriptional regulation across cell types. While the General Expression Transformer…
Mathematics
Linear systems of equations are fundamental for scientific and engineering projects. Yet, traditional methods of solving linear systems struggle with scalability(speed) , instability, and ar…
Materials Science
Quasicrystals are materials with ordered but aperiodic atomic arrangements, which can be contrasted from traditional crystals that possess a periodic structure. Their unique thermal and elec…
Embedded Systems
Background: Grasping is a critical function for humanoid robots to automate mechanical labor. Current robotic grasping is limited by the inability to precisely set grasping conditions before…
