Biographies
Chris - I am currently a grade twelve student at Centennial C.V.I in Guelph, Ontario. My lab partner, Pinky Langat, and I competed in the Waterloo-Wellington Science and Engineering Fair and won the Award of Excellence, an Award of Merit, the Best of Engineering, a Gold Medal for Senior Engineering and the Hydro One Award. I am also heavily involved in music, playing drums in my high school symphonic and jazz bands and a jazz sextet outside of school. I rock climb, bike, hike and winter-camp. I am currently participating in a four course, full semester, intensive environmental and outdoor ed program that focuses on peak oil / climate change and issues related to food and sustainability. I have been accepted into six programs, including Engineering at Queen's University, and plan to go there next year. I have been awarded entrance scholarships at eight universities.
Pinky - My name is Pinky Langat, and I am a Grade 12 student at Centennial CVI. I am a Shad Valley Calgary alumnus and a current 2008 Loran Award Scholar. Some of my involvements include being a co-chair of the Guelph Youth Council, DECA Centennial Chapter President, an executive member of Centennial's social action club Global Outreach, a youth volunteer for Buddha's Light International Association of Toronto, and the Events Coordinator for the social awareness group Student Reach. I recently participated in Forum for Young Canadians, as I am very interested in world issues. I have performed in school drama, musicals, and dance productions. I also play classical piano (and some jazz!), having finished RCM Grade 10 level piano. I am vegetarian, regularly do yoga, swim and have played for Centennial's varsity field hockey team for three years. I hope to improve upon my Mandarin and French language skills. My awards include being a two-time nominee for Guelph's Young Women of Distinction, Event Finalist at International DECA Business Marketing Competition, first and third at McMaster Science Olympics, and past Kiwanis Music Festival Scholarship recipient. I plan to study biochemistry or biomedical science and international relations at an undecided university next year.

Bright Future of Energy: Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Division:Sciences de la santé / Innovation environnementale
Catégorie:Sénior
Région:Waterloo-Wellington
Ville:Guelph, ON
École:Centennial Collegiate & Vocational Institute
Sommaire:The efficiencies of various pigments and electrolytes were analyzed in dye-sensitized solar cells. The optimal pigment was found to be anthocyanin extract from red cabbage, and the most effective electrolyte was found to be a saturated solution of guanidine thiocyanate in water-free ethylene glycol. Investigations on possible effects of GFP as an antioxidant and accessory pigment and of DNA to facilitate electron transfer are continuing.
