Xianjie Yang is a student at Nanjing Foreign Language School. He founded the New Sunshine charity group, which supports children with leukaemia through online lessons.
The group oversees 43 student tutors who teach these children. As a tutor himself, Xianjie plans and conducts mathematics, Chinese, and art lessons every two weeks. Through this work, he has strengthened his leadership and teaching skills.
Innovation and Technology
Xianjie is developing a smart doorbell that responds to sound and movement. Its goal is to reduce electricity consumption. Using his programming and electronics skills, he designed a prototype. However, he faced challenges with its features and compatibility with existing home systems. Despite these difficulties, he continues to develop his idea.
Calligraphy and Creative Design
Xianjie has practised Chinese calligraphy since childhood. He explores its geometric beauty by designing three-dimensional calligraphy characters with C4D. This project combines his interest in calligraphy with digital design. It has also helped him develop patience, precision, and creativity.
Achievements in Mathematics
Xianjie has excelled in several mathematics competitions. He earned a place on the Honor Roll in the Euclid Mathematics Contest, ranking 95th globally. He later achieved results in the AMC12, BMO, and Math League competitions. These experiences helped build his confidence.
More recently, he scored 14 out of 15 on the AIME. He also received the Meritorious Award in the High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling. These accomplishments further demonstrate his mathematical ability.
Research Accepted at AURS11
Xianjie’s research paper, “Is Symbolisation a Kind of Translation?”, has been accepted at the 11th Asian Undergraduate Research Symposium (AURS11) in Tokyo, Japan.
Congratulations to Xianjie on this achievement!
