Seven Medals for Six Scientists!

The 26th International Conference, held this year in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, from 19 to 25 April gathered young scientists from 26 countries: Belarus, Brazil, the Netherlands, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guam, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Macau, Malaysia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, and Sri Lanka

The conference program included presentations in physics, mathematics, computer science, biology, and ecology. The students were given 15 minutes for a serious and fruitful discussion on corresponding topics with representatives of a professional jury, which included prominent scientists and practitioners from various countries and universities in Europe, Asia, and Africa

Belarus was represented with 6 reports in 3 disciplines: mathematics, physics, and biology. According to the results of the two-day fierce contestation in English, our young scientists won 2 gold, one silver, and two bronze medals

The medals were distributed as follows:

Gold medals were awarded to Roman Rouba, a student of Gomel Secondary School No. 44, for a report in physics entitled “Study of the Properties of Prince Rupert’s Drop”, and Alexander Pechenkin, a student of Gomel Gymnasium No. 71, for a report in mathematics entitled “On the Number of Points on a Curve in a Residual Ring”.

Silver went to Ilya Nefedov, a student of Vitebsk Gymnasium No. 1, for a report in physics entitled “Study of the Free Flow and Shaping of Loose Bodies in a Gravitational Field”.

Bronze was awarded to Kirill Makarenko, a student of the BNTU Lyceum, for his report in physics entitled “Using Rod Ultrasonic Waveguides to Destroy Icicles”, and Dmitry Skorobogogaty, a student of Minsk Gymnasium No. 38, for his report in biology entitled “Developing Eco-Friendly Chitosan Biopolymer-Based Compounds for Seed Incrustation”.

In addition, the conference jury awarded medals to Anton Suravezhkin, a student of Gymnasium No. 29 (a report in mathematics entitled “Neighbourhood Sets in Graphs”), and Dmitry Skorobogaty in the Best Poster Presentation nomination.

The splendid results of the Belarusian team show the serious attitude of Belarus toward drafting reports for scientific and practical conferences and their high level of quality, as well as the hard work of secondary school students, their leaders, and trainers.
