(Central News Agency reporter Chen Chih-Chung, Taipei, 29th) Taiwan for the first time this year selected outstanding talents to participate in the Danish Young Scientist Competition. Kuo Hsin-Yu, a student from Pingtung Girls' High School, brought home the International Prize Winner award and a US$500 prize, and was the only winning entry in that group.
The National Taiwan Science Education Center selected 36 excellent works from the 2026 Taiwan International Science Fair (TISF) to represent Taiwan in various international competitions, and good news has been continuously reported.
The Danish National Science Center held the Danish Young Scientist Competition from the 25th to the 28th. The international group saw students from Brazil, Luxembourg, Norway, and Taiwan compete. Kuo Hsin-Yu won the first prize with her work "Estimating Metallicity from the Light Curves of Variable Stars: A Case Study of δ Scuti Type."
Kuo Hsin-Yu's work explores the relationship between the light curves of δ Scuti type variable stars and metallicity, establishing a relational formula that can estimate metallicity through light curve parameters.
Kuo Hsin-Yu's research can be applied to asteroseismology-related issues in the future, complementing the limitations of insufficient existing observational data. The judging panel affirmed her profound understanding of the research topic and innovative thinking, and praised her independent completion of research results with completeness and analytical depth.
Liu Huo-Chin, director of the Science Education Center, stated that Taiwan's works stood out in the Danish Young Scientist Competition, not only demonstrating excellent research capabilities but also highlighting innovative strength and international competitiveness in the scientific field.
To promote talent exchange, the competition organizers also selected outstanding works, and next year representatives from Denmark will come to Taiwan to participate in the Taiwan International Science Fair, hoping to continue deepening bilateral cooperation in the future.
