Krithik Ramesh of Greenwood Village,
Colorado, Wins $75,000 Top Prize at Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair
Krithik Ramesh, 16, of Greenwood Village, Colorado, was awarded
first place for developing a machine learning technology for
orthopedic surgeons at this year’s Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair (ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the
Public. Intel ISEF is the world’s largest international pre-college
science competition. The competition featured over 1,800 young
scientists selected from 423 affiliate fairs in more than 80
countries, regions and territories.

Krithik Ramesh, 16, of Greenwood Village,
Colorado, received top honors with the Gordon E. Moore Award of
$75,000 on Friday, May 17, 2019, at the 2019 Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair, a program of Society for Science
& the Public and the world's largest international pre-college
science competition. He used augmented reality, machine learning
and computer vision to help orthopedic surgeons achieve greater
accuracy for screw placement during spinal surgery. (Credit: Chris

Using machine learning and computer vision, the project helps
orthopedic surgeons achieve greater accuracy for screw placement
during spinal surgery. Based on Ramesh’s tests, this method has the
potential to decrease operating time by at least 30 minutes, reduce
physical therapy recovery time by four weeks and diminish the
negative side effects associated with traditional medical imaging.
Ramesh received the $75,000 Gordon E. Moore Award, named in honor
of the Intel co-founder and fellow scientist.

Fair 2019: Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators
Allison Jia, 17, of San Jose, California, received one of two
Intel Foundation Young Scientist Awards of $50,000 for her
investigation into toxic tau protein aggregates, which spread in
neurons in the human brain and are associated with
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Rachel Seevers, 17, of Lexington, Kentucky, received the other
Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for designing,
building and testing a rigid, energy-efficient prototype of an
underwater propulsion device that mimics the way jellyfish move
through the water. This could allow for greater access to the
world’s unexplored oceans.
Shriya Reddy, 15, of Northville, Michigan, received the newly
announced $10,000 Craig R. Barrett Award for Innovation, funded
through Society for Science and the Public, for her novel,
noninvasive approach for rapidly diagnosing melanoma lesions.
“Intel is proud to honor Krithik Ramesh, Rachel Seevers, Allison
Jia, Shriya Reddy and all of the ISEF finalists on their innovative
work, which is helping to advance key research areas and provide
solutions to global challenges that are critical today. The work
they are doing has the potential to make a better tomorrow for all
of us,” said Pia Wilson-Body, president of the Intel Foundation.
“And I would be remiss if I didn’t highlight the communities of
support surrounding these students every day: parents, teachers,
mentors, administrators, supporters and organizations like SSP who
provide opportunities for students to engage and explore the world
of STEM, and ultimately reach their full potential.”
In addition to the top winners, approximately 600 finalists
received awards and prizes for their innovative research, including
22 “Best of Category” winners, who each received a $5,000 prize in
addition to their $3,000 first-place award. The Intel Foundation
also awarded a $1,000 grant to each winner’s school and to the
affiliated fair they represent.

“The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair is the
world’s most powerful STEM talent pipeline and I am inspired by all
of the ingenuity on display this week,” said Maya Ajmera, president
and CEO of Society for Science & the Public and publisher of
Science News. “Congratulations to our winners and all our finalists
who are demonstrating that world-changing ideas can come from
anywhere in the world.”
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair provides
opportunities for students to explore their passion for developing
innovations that improve the way we work and live. All finalists
are selected by an affiliated, local competition and receive an
all-expenses-paid trip to the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair in Phoenix. At the competition, finalists are
judged by hundreds of science, engineering and industry
professionals who have a Ph.D. or equivalent (six years of related
professional experience) or are senior graduate students with
doctoral-level research in one of the 22 scientific disciplines
above.
A full listing of finalists is available in the event program.
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2019 is funded
jointly by Intel and the Intel Foundation with additional support
from dozens of corporate, academic, government and science-focused
sponsors. This year, approximately $5 million was awarded.
