With an impressive portfolio of projects, Al Bateen offers a vast range of high-quality fasteners across industries
Ahmed took part last year as well, however, did not make to the finals with her String Theory in physics.
She is currently studying statistics and science data at the University of Melbourne and her video for the competition, which had 12,000 registrants this year, is on the 'P VS. NP Problem' in mathematics and computer science. She hopes she will win by the required popular vote this year. "The P vs. NP problem is one of the most famous open problems within mathematics and computer science," Ahmed said. "The P vs. NP problem asks - is there a way to convert difficult to solve NP problems into P problems? If we can, the implications are drastic. Problems that previously had no obvious solution are suddenly solvable in seconds. This includes understanding protein folding, which could cure cancer."
"Since the prize is a $250k scholarship, I will use this to pursue my dreams to be a mathematician in ways that will help me grow and gain tremendous experience. I want to be representative of the notion that you don't have everything to be able to thrive. I was born in Dubai to two loving parents in a cozy home full of books. I didn't have access to top-notch scientific training or even great laboratories. What inspired me the most were the thrilling rides and the journey that accompanies making huge waves in science," Ahmed said.
The winner of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge will be announced at the internationally broadcast 2018 Breakthrough Prize ceremony live from Silicon Valley on November 4.
