2006 Presidential Scholar and the 2006 All-USA
High School Academic Award
Detroit Country Day School student, John Zhou from Northville, Michigan,
was awarded the 2006 Presidential Scholar and the 2006 All-USA High
School Academic Award.
Biosystems engineering associate professor, Evangeline Alocilja, mentored
John during the summer of 2005. John worked under Dr. Alocilja in her
lab researching biosensors. He was a part of the High School Honors
Science Program (HSHSP), a national summer research program held at
Michigan State University designed for high-achieving high school students.
Students work in ongoing research projects with a faculty mentor. It
provides high school students experience, which cannot be duplicated
in high school or the first years of college.
John was also a semi-finalist and finalist in the 2006 Intel Science
Talent Search and 2006 Siemens Westinghouse Competition; and winner
of the 2006 Sanofi-Aventis International BioGENEius Challenge.
