Every day, the internet generates an average of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. As a result, while the need for data storage is increasing exponentially, the capacity of existing storage media is not. The field of data storage requires a revolution right now. The unique technique for storing digital data in DNA sequences is examined in this research. The goal is to mimic nature’s method of storing data. The process uses, and challenges related to this hypothetical idea of data storage are detailed in this study. DNA is an appealing option for archiving data since it is highly dense, with a raw limit of 1 Exabyte. This study examines nearly every major milestone in the science of DNA storage, from the benefits and drawbacks to how and why everything is feasible, as well as everything that impedes the advancement of such technology. This study also focuses on how much data storage can be achieved now.
CAT - Kush Jindal’s innovative research project explored the application of advanced mathematical tools to detect and predict clear air turbulence (CAT), a phenomenon that poses significant risks to aviation safety. Leveraging mathematical modeling, data analysis, and algorithms, this project utilized satellite imagery and meteorological data to identify patterns and factors contributing to CAT.
The research integrated:
Fourier Analysis for examining wave-like patterns in atmospheric conditions.
Differential Equations to model changes in wind velocity, temperature, and pressure.
Machine Learning Algorithms to process satellite data, improving the detection accuracy.
Vector Calculus for studying airflow and wind shear in three-dimensional space.
Probability and Statistics for analyzing the likelihood of turbulence in specific flight paths.
The project was not only a testament to the potential of mathematical tools in solving real-world challenges but also a significant step toward making aviation safer by providing early-warning systems for pilots and air traffic controllers.
This work earned recognition as a finalist in a prestigious interschool national competition, where it was lauded for its originality, interdisciplinary approach, and practical relevance. Kush’s dedication to blending mathematics with technology demonstrated the power of STEM in addressing critical global concerns.
