Episode Synopsis

If you wanna discuss dark matter, get to know the world of machine learning, computer science or robotics, Brendon is your person! He is the youngest contestant ever to take the Best Project Award at Canada-Wide Science Fair, he won first prize at the European Contest for Young Scientists for the project in which he developed an autonomous vehicle based on an electric go-kart. At SNOLAB, he applied deep learning to dark matter detection, used machine learning to build an algorithm that improves particle classification. And guess what, Brendon's also an Intel ISEF Alumni 2019! With the project, he won Second Award in Physics and Astronomy, the China Association for Science and Technology’s Award and the National Security Agency Research Directorate’s Honorable Mention.
