Science Student Publishes Two Peer Reviewed Papers
Maggie Zhou and Dean Antoine of NJ Governor's School of Engineering and Technology
Senior Margret Zhou has recently co-authored two peer-reviewed papers that have been accepted for publication in the prestigious journals ASME and IEEE, a significant recognition of her work. She is an outstanding student and the president of the Applied Engineering Club.
1. “Analysis of Contact Points on Guidewires in Neurointerventional Surgery Using U-Net-Based Shape Reconstruction.” This paper, published in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Journal, was also presented at the 2024 August International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC-CIE). This work, a culmination of her year-long research to enhance a robotic system tailored for assisting surgeons during neuroendovascular interventions at Prof. Yong Shi’s mechanical engineering lab at Stevens Institute of Technology, is a testament to her dedication and expertise in the field.

French Club Meeting Highlights Edith Piaf's Life and Legacy
French Club Meeting Highlights Edith Piaf's Life and Legacy
On Wednesday, September 25, the RHS French club held its second meeting. Thanks to Amany Boussedjra, our new Culture Coodinator, club attendees learned about a popular French singer and songwriter, Edith Piaf. Many readers might think they have not heard of her, but did you watch the Olympics? "L'Hymne à l'amour", covered by Celine Dion, was a song of Piaf's! Despite being a singer, Amany's slideshow explained how the artist used her music, riches, and fame to help the French Jews during World War II.
If you want to learn more about French culture, history, and more, come to room 332 on Wednesdays (every 2 weeks) during lunch!
