Memorial High School senior Sohil Shah is at an academic level above most of his peers.
Sohil, 17, who takes classes and conducts research at UW-Madison, also is more advanced than many college students.
Findings from his nanoscience research project were published in the prestigious Journal of Materials Chemistry — a feat that could be expected of third-year doctorate students, said Robert Hamers, chemistry professor at UW-Madison and Sohil’s mentor.
“Sohil is the most amazing high school student I have ever seen,” said Hamers, who is impressed by the high school student’s overall scientific knowledge and outstanding math skills. “It’s hard to remember that he’s not a college student.”
