Alice Hu is a high school student at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North. She has been passionate about science from a young age.
Alice has achieved notable success in science competitions. She won first place in the meteorology event at the New Jersey State Science Olympiad. She also participated in the Princeton University Spring High School Engineering Colloquium.
Alice’s Research on Detecting Arrhythmias
As part of the CCIR programme, Alice conducted a research project titled “The Role of Morphology and Heart Rate Variability Features in Detecting Arrhythmias from Short ECGs.”
Her research explored how to classify short electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. These recordings can be difficult to analyse because they are brief and may contain noise.
Alice compared two types of features: ECG morphology and heart rate variability (HRV). She examined HRV features from both the time and frequency domains.
She also used machine learning models to compare how effectively these features could help detect arrhythmias in short ECG recordings.
Research Accepted by the Journal of Student Research
Alice’s research paper was accepted by the Journal of Student Research. This multidisciplinary journal supports the global dissemination of student-led research.
The acceptance marks an important milestone in Alice’s academic journey. Congratulations to Alice on this achievement!
