SCOTT HUANG is a rising senior at Great Neck North High School. He has been a member of the Science Research Program at North since his freshman year, and has done (or attempted) projects involving high speed and Schlieren photography. This has lead to an interest in optics, although his current general knowledge of physics is essentially composed of stuff remembered from a 9th grade physics course. He hopes to increase that knowledge this summer.

Scott also runs cross country and two seasons of track, which makes him a "runner" in name if not in spirit. He also has what could be considered an unhealthy obsession with the game of billiards, as well as a fondness for crossword puzzles.
