Ryan Werthmann
Falmouth High School
Ryan’s project, entitled A Data-Driven Exploration of Albumin-Creatinine Ratio as a Biomarker for Myocardial Infarction Risk: A Multivariate Analysis, used data science to study the connection between the results of a blood test typically used to detect kidney disease and a patient’s risk for having a heart attack.
Zelda Anesko
Brunswick High School
Zelda’s project, entitled A Computer Model for Efficient Offshore Wind Farm Siting in the North Atlantic, developed a computer program that combined data including wind density, shipping routes, and Canadian and U.S. ports, and industry metrics to identify key locations for offshore wind farms in the Atlantic.
Sofie Rueter
Bangor High School
Sofie’s project, entitled Improving the Effectivity of Nitrate Removal in Biosand Filters Using N. oculata, sought to improve biosand filters used to purify drinking water in rural or developing communities. By adding a microalgae to the filter, Sofie demonstrated a method of removing more nitrogen from the water.
