A University Heights Academy student is among 16 from The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science to present their research in Frankfort at the Kentucky Junior Academy of Science meeting.
Katie Isaacs presented “Enhancing Photon Detection for Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering at the Electron-Ion Collider” in physics and astronomy. Isaacs is mentored by University of Kentucky faculty Dr. Renee Fatemi in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The recent event is held in tandem with the Kentucky Academy of Science Annual Meeting. Fifty students from across the Commonwealth presented their research through the Kentucky Junior Academy of Science, and 11, including Issacs, were chosen as delegates for the 2025 American Junior Academy of Science conference, which will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, next month.
