Two students from Chatham High School in New Jersey, Ranvir Iyngar and Kelly Nie, received second-place awards at separate STEM competitions at Kean University. Ranvir Iyngar's project in the Biostatistics category involved developing innovative statistics-driven algorithms to enhance CT scan imaging, aiming to achieve precision comparable to MRI scans for identifying liver tumors. He emphasized the importance of making imaging more accessible, as MRIs are often cost-prohibitive and time-consuming. Iyngar was mentored by Dr. Edward Dee, a resident physician in radiation oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Meanwhile, Kelly Nie earned her award in the Math and Computer Science category for her project, RallyCoach, an AI-powered system designed to analyze tennis match footage and generate personalized coaching feedback. Nie expressed her enthusiasm for the project and the learning experience it provided regarding AI's capabilities. She was mentored by Abhinav Agarwal, the chief technology officer at Clair, a healthcare technology company.
