In our 8-week program, we will guide you through an independent research project. You will work 1-on-1 with an AdmissionSight Research Scientist to craft together an independent research project and compete in highly prestigious science research competitions such as the Intel Science and Engineering Fair and Regeneron Science Talent Search. During the 8 weeks, you will receive guidance on how to execute on the technical details of the project which you can use to submit to the state science fair and potentially qualify for different science competitions such as ISEF. A background in computer science is helpful, but not necessarily required as long as there is a willingness to learn.
Many of our students have competed in the Regeneron Science Talent Search and Intel Science and Engineering Fair and won national recognition for their efforts, including a $25,000 scholarship. In past years, our students placed semifinalist and regional finalist in the Siemens Westinghouse Competition, which has since been discontinued. Please consult with us further about this highly specialized science research program.
Our track record of placing students in some of the nation’s most prestigious science research competitions significantly increases their odds for admission to the most competitive universities. Our students find that our research program is both challenging and rewarding, setting them up for success.
David is a Research Scientist at AdmissionSight and has a PhD in Physics from the University of California – Davis, where his research focused on utilizing a tsunami wave simulator and machine learning techniques to develop novel early warning systems. David was heavily involved in a particle physics research group at Fermilab, America’s national accelerator laboratory. He was funded to work there through a scholarship recognizing his self-driven high school science projects, including a fusion-based project presented at the Regional Junior Science & Humanities Symposium (JSHS). David has deep experience in physics, machine learning, mathematics, and statistics.
Ethan is a Research Scientist at AdmissionSight and graduated with a BS in Neuroscience and a minor in Entrepreneurship from UCLA. There, he led a non-profit that focused on mentoring science to underserved students, for which he won the Charles E Young Humanitarian Award. His non-profit focused on providing students with university role models who would inspire them to find fascinating, real-word questions that they would then answer themselves through their own science experiments, which were showcased to university professors and researchers on campus. After UCLA, he went on to be a fellow in machine learning at Google, and now enjoys helping students with their science research projects.
Derek is the Head Research Scientist at AdmissionSight graduated with a BS and PE in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In school, he was a National AP Scholar, National Merit Scholar, Lockheed Engineering Scholar, and UCLA Alumni Association Scholar. Today, Derek focuses on helping students conduct independent research projects and many have placed in the Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS). Derek‘s students have been published in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), the Columbia Junior Science Journal. Derek‘s students have also been accepted into Sigma Xi, The Junior Academy of Sciences, and the MIT Research Science Institute (RSI).Â
