Dr. Winkel shares that this summer Team USA participated in the International Young Physicist Tournament 2024 (IYPT) in Budapest.
Stuy scored 23rd out of 39 countries. That may not sound so great but the presence of our Stuyvesant Student William Shiu on the five-student team strongly enhanced the teams' capabilities . This was the best US performance so far.
Dr. Winkel would like to thank the nine Stuyvesant students from his physics class who researched the seventeen IYPT problems, Zarrin Ahmed, Lillian Engber, Sasha Gordon Zolov, Logan Hau, Leonardo Huie Garcia, Selina Lee, Joanna Lin, William Shiu, Andy Xian, who worked together and spent endless hours to prepare and submit reports and video presentations for the national competition. Special Thanks to Andy Xian and Logan Hau who helped with the refinement of the experiments until the very last day of school.
Congratulations to William Shiu for his outstanding work and his stamina in representing Stuyvesant and the USA admirably.
