European Union’s Young Scientists Contest winner visits EMBL Budding young scientist Julius Bogomolovas, a 17-year-old student from Lithuania, spent four days visiting EMBL-Heidelberg this past February. Julius won the trip to EMBL at the 16th European Union Contest for Young Scientists held in Dublin, September 25-29, 2004. Over 100 of Europe's high school students from 34 countries showcased their projects and over 15,000 people attended the event. Already a winner at his home country’s national science contest, Julius presented his project “Viscotoxin extraction and cytotoxicity” to an international jury of 15 experts. Despite some logistical problems (his poster got sent by mistake to Tbilisi, Georgia, instead of Dublin, Ireland), he took home the prize of a trip to EMBL. The prize was sponsored by EIROforum – a group of seven intergovernmental European research organizations, of which EMBL is a member. Julius may be a young scientist at 17, but his scientific career goes back even further. At age 14 he was doing experiments at his local bio-chemistry institute. “I started entering national competitions but had to settle for runner-up prizes,” says Julius. “The organizers told me I was too young to participate in the European competitions.” One of his many projects focused on “Antiepileptic activity of extract from European mistletoe on Mongolian gerbil epilepsy.” Julius visited EMBL from February 22-26 and spent time in the Genomics Core Facilities to learn more about their services and technologies. He was impressed with the lab’s openness and the willingness of the staff to collaborate. Julius plans on coming back to EMBL next summer as an intern to work with Vladimir Benes and Rainer Pepperkok.
EFDA JET, as a member of EIROforum (see footnote), sponsored the latest European Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS 2004) with a one week invitation to JET facilities for one of the EUCYS winners. Our special guest – Mr Francois Tissot, student from the Joseph Fourrier University in Grenoble – joined us in Culham in the week starting on 25th April. “It was a very nice prize. I am very happy to have had the chance to visit JET” he remarked after his return to France. We also asked Francois whether he can imagine a career in a large research centre : “Yes, that's what I want to do now. I hope to work in a laboratory in fusion research, like JET or may be ITER. Before the visit, I knew only little about fusion, but now I know more and I enjoy it.” At JET, Francois made an exceptional impression when he presented his EUCYS award-winning work on “Development of an atomic force microscope”.
Anton is a 3rd year student of faculty of Soil Science of Lomonosov Moscow University. Antos’s parents inculcated to him the love for nature and environment when he was a child. His father was a military and the family traveled over the whole territory of the former Soviet Union (Anton was born at Baikonur, lived in the Far East and at the lake Balkhash(the only semi-salted and semi-soft lake in the world). Anton’s entering the Soil Science faculty of the MSU was only a logical consequence of this. In the University he became involved in tourism activity. A peculiar fact from Anton’s biography is that every time he attends the course of Russian History (either at school or university) he is asked to make a report about Ermak (a person from Russian history). Anton’s plans for the near future are to graduate from the University and travel around the world. The sphere of his professional interests includes chemistry, soil science, ecology, and history. At present he am dealing with the problem of nitrogen circulation in mountainous herbaceous ecosystems. In 2003 Anton became the winner of the National Contest for Young Scientists (2nd Diploma). He was also awarded the degree of Corresponding Member of Russian Polytechnic Society. He has a published scientific work in the Collection of articles “Scientific Works of Young Scientists within the “Step into the Future” Programme”. Anton is fond ecology and environment protection. His hobbies are tourism and cooking. Anton Ermak A participant of 15th European Union Contest for Young Scientists (Hungary, Budapest, 2003) During her school years Tatiana was doing her scientific works in maths, computer science, ecology, literature, and etc. and presented them at different scientific conferences. The most successful work of hers however appeared in applied maths called ‘Informative and Technological Support of Clothes Cutting Process. She developed the computer programme for construction of the personalized clothes patterns. Moreover using the graph theory she developed a mathematical model for automation of a cutting process which requires some restrictions. She won first prizes at the National Contests for Young Scientists in Moscow at 1998 and 1999 with this research. She took part in 11th EU Contest for Young Scientists (Thessaloniki, Greece, 1999) and in London International Youth Science Forum (1998). Later she continued her research in developing algorithms, that use Eulerian cycles, while working on her university graduate work on Applied Mathematics in South Ural State University (Chelyabinsk) in June, 2003. Nowadays she is working as an assistant at the department of Economical Mathematics Methods and Statistics and finishing her work at her thesis for the Degree of Candidate of Sciences. Moreover a number of pupils and students have presented their works under Tatiana’s scientific supervision at the National Contest of Young Scientists in Moscow.
A participant of 11th European Union Contest for Young Scientists (Greece, Thessaloniki, 1999) Rustam is a 3rd year student of “Radio-electronics and Laser technology” faculty of the Bauman University. Rustam is fond of radio-electronics. He is also interested in methods of digital data processing. Rustam prefers active kinds of sport (skiing, skating, and volleyball), his hobbies include hiking and outdoor recreation. Rustam Tikhonov Prize-winner at The National Contest for Young Scientists (Russia, Moscow, April 15-19, 2002) Ksenia is a 3rd year student of mathematical faculty of Petrozavodsk State University. She began her research work when she was in the 10th form. The theme of her work was petroglyphs – rock paintings by ancient people. They have remained intact on the coastal rocks of Onego Lake and the river Vyg in Belomorsk region of Karelia. But Ksenia began to study this phenomenon as a mathematician, rather then a historian or ethnographer. An algorithm of defining petroglyphs appeared as the result of her work. This theme was interesting for its singularity because it is based on history and math. Ksenia has always been interested in the history of her region but the opportunity to study it in such an unusual way got her attention at once. Ksenia participates in different local, Russian and European scientific conferences and exhibitions. She has several times won the Russian Youth Scientific and Engineering Conferences and Fairs “Step into the Future”. She was also awarded the gold medal in the exhibition “Expo Science Europe 2002” in Slovakia, Bratislava. Ksenia took part in the 15th European Union Contest for Young Scientists in Hungary, Budapest and got the third prize there. At present Ksenia continues her research concerning studying petroglyphs applying different mathematical methods. Kseniya Rogova 3rd prize winner in 15th European Union Contest
for Young Scientists (Hungary, Budapest, 2003) An unforgettable experience
Academic and Cultural Programme of the EU Contest Visit of Nicolas Porcher to CERN, 21-25 Feb 2005 The large particle detectors at CERN sometimes get called the world’s largest microscopes. Nicolas Porcher and his two colleagues won their visits to laboratories on the basis of their design for an Atomic Force Microscope, and Nicolas’ trip to CERN, gave him the chance to see the size of equipment needed to probe the nature of matter at the smallest possible scales. The Large Hadron Collider is scheduled to start operating in 2007. The collider will use superconducting magnets to guide the highest ever energy proton beams in opposite directions around the 27km underground tunnel. Nicolas got to walk along a section of the tunnel to see the installation of the cryogenic lines that will bring liquid helium to cool the magnets. The red blocks on the floor of the tunnel are the mounting points for the magnets, which have already been precisely aligned. In addition to the tunnel, Nicolas saw the caverns for the multi-purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS, that will detect the results of the proton-proton collisions. The ATLAS cavern is the larger, and the five-story main building of CERN would fit comfortably inside. The caverns are starting to fill with the measuring equipment, but most of the active elements are still being assembled in other locations. Nicolas benefited from tours of several assembly sites, each with one or two of the physicists actually working on the equipment. Although the LHC is not yet running, Nicolas did get to see a particle accelerator close up. The Antiproton Decelerator is an unusual accelerator, in that it has been configured to slow down particles, instead of speed them up. The AD supplies experiments that try to combine antiprotons with positrons (positive electrons) to make atoms of anti-hydrogen. In between tours of underground experiments and large-scale laboratories, Nicolas got an impression of everyday life at CERN. He thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and would like to come back one day, perhaps taking advantage of one of the CERN studentship programs. An unforgettable experience
