Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Society for Science announced the winners of the 2026 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), featuring more than 1,700 young scientists representing over 60 countries, regions, and territories. The prestigious international competition was held May 9–15 in Phoenix, AZ, and we had many from our region who can be considered among the world’s top young scientific researchers.
A few Highlights:
Washington-Liberty sophomores Margaret Saperstein and Orgil Soronzonbold were first in their category, and H-B Woodlawn junior Janak Vasisht, was also a recognized finalist from Arlington.
Nine students from Fairfax County Public Schools won awards at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) that took place last week in Phoenix, Ariz.
Winners of category awards included:
Bennett Huang and Jason Pan from Langley High School received first place in Environmental Engineering for their project, “Harnessing Methyl Jasmonate Epigenetic Defense Modulation Through an Autonomous Robotic Precision Spraying System for Targeted Pest Control.”
Julia Hatcher from Madison High School received fourth place in Animal Sciences for her project, “Hidden Metals, Visible Consequences: The Effect of Lead Concentrations in Simulated Vape E-Liquid on C. elegans’ Locomotor Behavior and Fertility.”
Sarah Park from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) received fourth place in Biomedical Engineering for her project, “Revolutionizing Targeted Therapeutics Using AI-Powered Origami Millirobots.”
Jack Gao from TJHSST received third place in Earth and Environmental Science for his project, “TorSight: Transitioning From Tornado Detection to Prediction Through Pre-Tornadic Signatures.”
Benjamin Kwon and Utsav Das from Chantilly High School received third place in Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design for their project, “The Effect of Pendulum Configuration on Energy Harvesting Efficiency Across Different Wave Conditions.”
Parham Yeganeh from Marshall High School received third place in Physics and Astronomy for his project, “Exploration of the Motion-Induced Quicksand Effect With Vertical Rotation.”
Palina Anfilofyev from Marshall High School received fourth place in Translational Medical Sciences for her project, “Optimizing Alzheimer’s Treatment: A Spatiotemporal Agent-Based Model of Combination Therapy in the Hippocampus.” She also received an Award from The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP) for her project.
