Third-place honours and $50,000 went to William Henry Kuszmaul, 17, of Massachusetts, who developed a new approach to the mathematics of modular enumeration, which has applications to a wide number of problems in computer science, bioinformatics and computational biology.

Srinivasan received a $20,000 award for his neural- network-based computer model, RNNScan, which "learns" patterns in DNA to predict the boundaries of certain genomic regions.

Datta also received a $20,000 award for his research that used computer models and equations to improve the understanding of the interactions of nuclear matter.

"We at Intel celebrate the work of these brilliant young scientists as a way to inspire the next generation to follow them with even greater energy and excitement into a life of invention and discovery," Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation, said.

"Imagine the new technologies, solutions and devices they will bring to bear on the challenges we face. The Intel Science Talent Search finalists should inspire all of us with hope for the future," Hawkins said.
