On Wednesday evening, RGS students presented their research into an array of different topics, stemming from synthetic chemicals to smart cities, and impressed the judges with their deep analysis into well chosen subjects, matched with their intuitive presentation skills. Even though many RGS students submitted ILA and ORIS projects, only 10 were chosen as finalists to present their findings to an audience.

The finalists included:

Rohan McCauley – The rise of obesogens

Thomas McLean – Reviving the Past

Ben Tabberner – It’s high time for Hypersonic Missiles

Haris MacNicol – Beyond the Périphérique

Matthew Turner – Development of a bench-top prototype smartphone-based colorimeter

Xavier Wallin – Are Economic Networks the Key to Successful Business Management?

Oliver Godkin – Smart Cities

Jasper Morris – The influence of Classics upon White Supremacy

Shrey Bijlani – Pain Processing in the Spinal Cord

Joshua Inglesfield – The how and why attitudes to states

Finlay Sanders – Exploring Emergent Properties of Complex Systems using Machine Learning

Thank you to everyone involved in organising the event, and congratulations to Shrey Bijlani in the academic category and Jasper Morris in the humanities category for winning the prize of best presentation.
