California
Angela Yu-Yun Yeung, 17, of Davis, entered the Intel Science Talent Search with
an engineering project focused on cognitive radio, a concept the FCC has
recently recognized as part of a "wireless revolution" to meet the challenge of
an overcrowded radio frequency spectrum. Over a two-year period, by using
mathematical tools for modeling this type of decision-making and by applying
spectrum sharing algorithms, she developed high performance networking policies
that would enable users in a cognitive radio network structure to efficiently
share the radio frequency spectrum while minimizing interference with one
another. She compared her approach to existing policy using MATLAB simulations
and found that time and energy required to find an open channel was decreased up
to 90%. Angela is president of the math honor society at Davis Senior High
School and director of the Willett Elementary School math club. In 2009, she was
a first place winner in the mathematics and software category at the California
State Science Fair and a finalist in the Intel ISEF. An accomplished pianist,
she is a soloist, accompanist, and assistant teacher. The daughter of King-Wah
and Wei-Wei Yeung, Angela hopes to study at Stanford or Harvard.
