Although she has not graduated from high school yet, Magdalena is already taking selected extramural courses at Warsaw University of Technology. After graduation, she wants to study aeronautics and astronautics. Magdalena’s great passion is aerospace engineering. She took part in the Learn&Fly 2022 competition, for which she designed a glider model from scratch. She is planning to participate in this year’s edition too. In addition, she has already started theoretical training for the glider pilot license.
Finalist of the School Physics Olympiad – one of few women in a mostly male group. Alessandra finds herself especially drawn to quantum physics. She is currently applying for internships and exploring various paths of professional development. Her dream is to become a scientist and lecturer at one of the world’s top universities. In the meantime, she is fighting the stereotypes surrounding exact sciences, and trying to show that they are far from ‘difficult and boring’.
Student at the University of Warsaw, passionate about theoretical and computational chemistry. She uses computational chemical methods in her research in the area of prebiotic chemistry, aiming to unravel the mystery of how life arose on Earth. She has won a research internship grant at Harvard University and is considering doctoral studies in the United States.
Biology student at the University of Groningen, where she won the prestigious Young Talent Award after completing her first year of study. In parallel to her three-year university course, Julia is taking an additional one-year Honors College Program to conduct her own research. She is currently studying the effects of short peptides on the activity of the LRRK2 protein. Mutations of this protein have been linked to an elevated risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Student of medicine at Oxford University. Aleksander is interested in clinical issues related to public health, lifestyle and nutrition medicine. He participated in the pilot studies of mass population testing for COVID-19. The study results were a foundation for rolling out a free COVID-19 rapid antigen testing program in the United Kingdom in 2021.
Student at EPFL, majoring in microtechnology. Interested in particular in mobile and swarm robotics. As part of his engineering studies, he is currently pursuing a project related to AVR microcontrollers and working on the design of a precision dynamometer.
Student at MUW, majoring in medicine. Of all the medical disciplines, he finds himself most drawn to neurology and psychiatry. Jędrzej focuses in particular on degenerative diseases, dementias, affective, and mental disorders caused by organic changes in the brain. As a member of the MUW Student Psychiatry Club, he is working on a project on sleep disorders.
Student at the University of Cambridge. Milena passed her second-year exams with the best aggregate score among all ‘biology-oriented’ students of Natural Sciences. She has already chosen pharmacology as her major. She is currently involved in research into drugs that could inhibit the formation of blood clots. Milena is most drawn to new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, which are still a challenge to treat.
Student at the University of Wrocław, majoring in computer science and physics. In his scientific endeavors, Maciej focuses on deep learning, quantum mechanics, and mathematical aspects of physics. However, by his own admission, he is interested in everything. He has completed a number of internships, for example at Google and CERN. In Switzerland, he participated in a project that was presented by him and his team at the ACAT 2022 conference in Bari.
He has completed his master’s degree in physics at Imperial College London at the top of his graduating class. He is now pursuing his PhD degree within the framework of the H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks project. Jakub is passionate about phenomena that are invisible to the naked eye. His current research work is focused on nanolasers.
The grand prize in the ADAMED SmartUP scholarship program is participation in a two-week science camp.
In each edition, from the group of 50 camp participants we select 10 students with the best academic performance. They are awarded the title of ADAMED SmartUP program winner and supported through individual science-focused consultations for 10 months.
Every year, upon the completion of consultations, we award scholarships for further scientific development to three of the winners.
Scholarship holders are identified by the biretta icon.
