WASHINGTON: It's called the “Junior Nobel”, and eight Indian American high school students - five of them girls - are among 40 named finalists for this year's Intel Science Talent Search, America's most prestigious high school science competition now in its 67th year.

Selected from among several thousand applicants from across the US, the finalists will travel to Washington DC in March for a gruelling week-long finale. The winner will get a USD 100,000 scholarship, while each of the 40 finalists gets USD 5,000.

The Indian American finalists are: Shravani Mikkilineni (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan), Hamsa Sridhar (Kings Park, New York), Ashok Chandran (Nesconset, New York), Shivani Sud (Durham, North Carolina), Isha Jain (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania), Ayon Sen (Austin, Texas) and Vinay Venkatesh Ramasesh (Fort Worth, Texas), Avanthi Raghavan (Orlando, Florida),

“Intel STS showcases the incredible advancements made by students across the nation when we get the system right and demonstrates the capabilities of the next generation,” Intel CEO Craig Barrett said.

Over the past 67 years, the Science Talent Search alumni have received more than 100 of the world's most coveted science and math honours including six Nobel Prizes, three National Medals of Science and 10 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, says Intel.

Shravani Mikkilineni 17, studied the computation of continued fraction expansions of the square roots of positive integers for her Intel Science Talent Search project in mathematics. Continued fractions provide approximations to the square roots of non-square integers, but are not easily computed. Let d be the largest integer less than the square root of k. Shravani found an accessible computation in the case where 2d / (k - d 2) is a half integer.

At Detroit Country Day School in Beverly Hills, Shravani is captain of the varsity tennis team and senior editor of the yearbook. Originally the only female on the team, she has emerged as a leader on her school's F.I.R.S.T. Robotics Team. Shravani played violin in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Sinfonia, and enjoys performing classical Indian dance. Her work in both biology and math has earned numerous national awards, and she co-founded a nonprofit charitable organization which benefits children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Ghana, raising both money and school supplies. The daughter of Prasad and Jhansi Mikkilineni, she hopes to continue her math and biology research at Harvard, MIT or Stanford.

In 2007, Sohan Venkat Mikkilineni, brother of Shravani Mikkilineni (Detroit Country Day school) was also the finalist along with 3 other Indians in the Intel Science Talent Search.

Rayapati berth confirmed?

Senior MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao is in no compromising mood to miss out on a ministerial berth this time. As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to reshuffle his cabinet next week, the veteran Congress MP is using all his resources to make the cut. According to sources, the four-time MP has made it clear to the party high command that he will retire from politics if he does not get a berth in the Union cabinet. Though the volatile political situation in the state might force the party high command to exercise caution, it is also not in a position to completely ignore the demands of senior leaders. The Eluru has emerged as a strong contender for a berth. Both Rayapati and Kavuri Sambasiva Rao belong to the strong Kamma community. Party insiders said both the senior MPs are gunning for junior minister Daggubati Purandeswari. But, she is also a Kamma leader. While Purandeswari is serving her second term in the Lok Sabha, Kavuri is a five-time MP. Rayapati is the most experienced a...
