I've always been a curious person who would like to explore everything around me using the knowledge I learned.
The numerous FIRST TIMEs in the researches really taught me a lot.
-
When I FIRST completed a 3D model car design, I learned new technological skill;
-
When I FIRST designed a perfect experiment procedure, I learned problem-solving;
-
When I FIRST continued 5 hours of experiment and processed hundreds of data, I learned perseverance...

China's Circular Economy - Redesigning the breakdown of e-waste
G11 Summer @ Yale Young Global Scholars 2018
We analyzed the concept of circular economy, current collection, recycling models and regulations in China, compared with EU policies and made suggestions.
We did a 20-min presentation on our research at Yale Center Beijing.

Secret of Rotation -- Mathematics behind Spirograph Toys
G11-G12 (2018.5-10)
Inspired by a toy I used to play in childhood called Spirograph, I started this investigation on the mathematical mechanism of spirograph and the factors influencing the number of vertices of the final shape.
I used computer simulation, mathematical modelling to set up and test the function of the trajectory shape. I also applied knowledge in trigonometry and geometry to prove the theory I developed.
-
Completed 12-page paper

Realized the application of mathematics in my daily life

Physics & Chemistry
Investigating the effect of window height on the interior temperature of a model car
Investigation on the factors that affect the tea polyphenol content in tea
G11 - G12 (2018.3-10)
These two investigations are based on my daily experience: the rising inner temperature of a car under the sun in summer, and the nutritious value of tea.
I did abundant research, designed experiments and used knowledge learned to explain the pattern I found.
