| My name is Twesh and I am a Grade 12 student at Bear Creek Secondary School in Barrie. This is my second time attending CWSF and I am looking forward to the experience. I am interested in math and science and I plan to go to university in a STEM field. I am a Student Trustee for the Simcoe County District School Board and President of my Student Council. I enjoy playing music and I am a percussionist in three school bands. I also play piano outside of school. My favourite sports are cross-country and basketball. I have a keen interest in mathematics and I have written numerous math contests. I am a member of my school’s math club and I tutor in the Math Help Room. While doing my project, I learned many interesting things about the field I was studying. My advice to anyone doing a science fair project is to find a topic that really interests you and to try and combine different fields, as some of the most interesting discoveries happen at the intersection of two different disciplines. |

Polarization-Selective Mirror based on a Silicon Nitride Photonic Crystal Slab
| Défi: | Innovation | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Simcoe County | | Ville: | Barrie, ON | | École: | Bear Creek S.S. | | Sommaire: | This project aims to design a polarization-selective photonic crystal membrane in silicon nitride. Finite-difference time domain modeling software, Lumerical, is used to simulate the optical device and optimize parameters. Such a crystal has applications as a component of an all-optical, single-photon transistor. Additionally, photonic crystals are porous and offer a thinner alternative to dielectric stacks. |
