Two Indian-origin students, Aditya Kumar and Aditya Joshi have won first prize at this year’s European Union Contest for Young Scientists.
Aditya Kumar and Aditya Joshi, 5th-year and 4th-year students at Synge Street, Dublin, had already won this year’s BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.
Their project proposes a solution to a mathematical problem from the 17th century as well as a new way to apply it to current engineering challenges.
The Synge Street CBS students triumphed with their project ‘A New Method of Solving the Bernoulli Quadrisection Problem’, which proposed a new approach to a mathematical problem unsolved since the 17th century — and put forward ways in which it could be applied to contemporary engineering challenges.
Hundreds of students from EU member states and other guest nations, such as the US, Canada, and Ukraine, faced stiff competition from Indian-origin students.
