Exploring the Works of Scientists - "Youth investigates" winner selected
This year's "Jugend forscht" national contest determined the best young researchers who were awarded on Sunday in Heilbronn. One of them is Reinhard Köcher (16) from Baden-Württemberg, who won in the "Work World" category with a motor-controlled device to adjust the frequency of a violin string.
Lilly Schwarz (16) from Hessen received the award for the best interdisciplinary work using Deep Learning. She managed to reduce the computing times of climate simulations and considered potential tipping points in the climate process. In the "Geo- and Space Sciences" field, Anna Maria Weiß (18) from Brandenburg took the win. Her research proved that the object TOI1147b is an exoplanet with a highly elliptical orbit around its parent star.
Out of the over 175 contestants, these talented individuals presented their research projects during the national final. They had qualified for the finals by winning in the respective state competitions. The 107 submitted projects spanned topics ranging from environmental protection to neural networks.
