Congratulations to the Hathaway Brown seniors who won major awards at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) held in Phoenix and the International Sustainable World Energy Engineering Environment Project Olympiad( I-SWEEEP) held in Houston in recent weeks.
At ISEF, Gurbani Kaur won a Second Place Grand Award, $1500, and also will have a minor planet named in her honor. Her research is conducted at the Biomedical Engineering Department at Case Western Reserve University, on the topic of targeted drug delivery. Gurbani was also a Siemens Regional Finalist, and presented her work at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting in Boston in February. In the same competition, Ingrid Zippe won the American Physiological Association Second Place Award and $1000. Her research is at CWRU School of Medicine in the field of Neuroscience. Ingrid was also a Siemens Semifinalist, and presented her work at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting in Boston in February.
At I-SWEEEP, Aly Bryan won a Silver Medal and a cash award of several hundred dollars. Her research is conducted at the CWRU School of Medicine Infectious Disease Department, on the topic of malaria control. Aly is also a 2013 U.S. Presidential Scholar and a Siemens Semifinalist. Joyce Guo won a Bronze Medal and several hundred dollars. Her research is conducted in the CWRU Physics Department on the topic of liquid crystals.
All students attended these events as Finalists, having earned this status through rigorous judging at the Hathaway Brown School ISEF Affiliate Science Fair.
Also attending ISEF as a finalist was Lena Ransohoff, who was a Siemens Semifinalist and who presented her research at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in New Orleans in October. Lena conducts research at the Cleveland Clinic in the field of neuroscience.
More than 120 students in grades 9-12 enrolled in HB’s renowned elective Science Research & Engineering Program took part in the school’s ISEF Affiliate Science Fair. The girls displayed their cutting-edge research conducted under the mentorship of leading professionals at CWRU, CWRU School of Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, NASA Glenn Research Center, and other area institutions.
