Update: Evan Liu ’13 Selected for NM International Science Fair Team

With students from over 70 countries in attendance, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair is the largest pre-college science competition in the world. Evan Liu ’13 just returned home from Phoenix, AZ with a fourth place award in the mathematical sciences category.

Evan’s project involved an algorithm developed by Marsha Falco in 1974 as part of her work as a geneticist. During the many required presentations for the judges and others in attendance, Evan was surprised with an unannounced visit by Ms. Falco who wanted to learn more about his work. She was very impressed with his contributions as were the judges.

When not competing, Evan had the opportunity to attend a variety of symposia, listening to and interacting with presentations by a number of Nobel laureates.

Evan Liu ’13 will be a member of the team representing New Mexico at the 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, AZ on May 12-17.

Evan earned an all expenses paid spot on the team by taking second place in the mathematical sciences category at the New Mexico Science and Engineering Fair competition held last weekend at New Mexico Tech. His project, “A Mathematical Analysis of Set Variants,” also earned Evan a second place award at the NM Regional Science Fair held in March at the University of New Mexico.
