14-Year-Old Isabel Rossi Improves Earthquake Sensor Coverage by 16.7%
Isabel Rossi, a 14-year-old student from Williamsburg, Virginia, became a finalist in a national science competition after developing a mathematical model to enhance earthquake sensor placement. Her six-month research demonstrated that adding five sensors could increase simulated detection coverage by 16.7%, using California earthquake data and mathematical methods to optimize sensor locations.
