Biomedical and Health Sciences
Clinical studies that relate different cancers to various carcinogens can be quite costly, and may last anywhere from a couple of years to a few decades. This project is twofold, in that fir…
ISEF · 2015
Cylindric Young tableaux are combinatorial objects that are a natural extension of Young tableaux. Young tableaux -- grids of boxes with numbers that satisfy certain rules -- are useful thro…
ISEF · 2015
I developed software that implements semi-supervised learning to dramatically improve accuracy when stylometrically attributing an unidentified tweet to the correct author from a set of know…
ISEF · 2015
This project investigates properties of the perfect cuboid system, and whether such a figure exists. Data was synthesized from a wide sample of properties, from self-bounding pair values (nu…

Major Depression is a common health problem in the United States and around the world. If left untreated, depression can lead to self-harm, suicide, and occasionally violence against others.…
ISEF · 2015
Runoff of synthetic pesticides affects the health of bodies of water by exposing, and thereby negatively impacting, plant and animal life. Agricultural uses of synthetic pesticides repel or…
ISEF · 2015
Fourth Award
Ras proteins are a family of small GTPases activated by numerous upstream signaling molecules. Mutations in RAS genes (KRAS, NRAS, HRAS) can cause the corresponding Ras protein to be locked…
