A Study on Harmonic Circles - 06/2018-Present

• Personal mathematical research that investigates a series of circles inscribed between a hyperbola and its asymptotes.
• Several asymptotic expressions were proven for properties of the circles, with more precise expressions requiring data analysis.
• A geometric analysis of the circles reveals a recursive relation critical to calculating the properties of any circle in the series.
• Extensive work was put into developing an algorithm to efficiently use the recursive relation to study circles late in the series.

A Study on the Properties of the Euler Line - 06/2016-06/2019

• Proved new formulae used to determine the sides intersected by the Euler Line of a triangle without constructions.
• Utilizing this new method, a formula for the Euler Line's length within the triangle was proven.
• Demonstrated constructions which enable the Euler Line to be defined in an equilateral triangle, which is otherwise impossible Chosen to present at the 2019 Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

The Efficiency of the Use of an Air Channel in an Aircraft Wing - 01/2015-01/2017

• Experimented with air channel locations to determine any that could lessen drag and incorporated sweep for feasibility purposes.
• Concluded that lift was increased, but data for drag and sweep testing showed no definitive trend.
• Earned 2nd honors, Best Use of Engineering, and Best Aeronautics Project at the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair.
