Vikarn Rajora is a high school student at West Island School in Hong Kong. He has a strong academic record and a keen interest in science.
Vikarn participated in the CubeSAT competition, where he designed a Cube Satellite. In addition, he serves as a student leader. He also leads his school’s National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT) team.
Vikarn’s Research on Cosmic Rays
At CCIR, Vikarn is working on a research project titled “Simulation of Cosmic Rays in the Presence of a Magnetic Field.”
His project uses computational tools to simulate how cosmic rays move through a magnetic dipole field. This field approximates the Earth’s geomagnetic field. Through these simulations, Vikarn aims to understand how magnetism affects cosmic ray trajectories.
