Marine geobiochemist Dr. Gillian Stewart ’94 returned to the Hilltop on April 17 to speak with Independent Science Research Program and Chemistry classes. Dr. Stewart is a professor at Queens College, with a research interest in the interactions between organisms and elemental cycling, particularly in the ocean. She is also the author of a new textbook, Oceanography: An Interdisciplinary Approach, set to release this fall.
During spring break, 12 Independent Science Research Program students joined more than 750 students from the region to present their research at the Regeneron Westchester Science & Engineering Fair. We are so proud of our students’ dedication and hard work over the past two to three years, which culminated in presenting their projects to scientists at these fairs.
Dr. Daniel Andor P ’37 came to the Hilltop to give a guest lecture to Hackley’s ISRP and AP/Post AP Computer Science students. During his visit, Dr. Andor discussed his career trajectory from being in a music school to studying physics for his Ph.D. dissertation and becoming a software engineer at Google.
In November, three of Hackley’s Independent Science Research Program seniors, Alicia Zhu, Rafael Castro and Vivek Malik, joined more than 2,000 students nationwide to submit their individual research projects to the Regeneron Science Talent Search.
