MST Jr. David Li Takes 4th at Prestigious ISEF

Camas High School junior David Li earned 4th place in the Embedded Systems category at the prestigious Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) for his project titled:

VoltMatrix: An Analog Computing AI Chip Architecture for Scalable and Energy Efficient Inference

David was recognized among the world’s top young scientists at the ISEF awards ceremony, which took place this month in Columbus, Ohio. His innovative work in analog computing architecture stood out among thousands of global submissions from more than 70 countries and regions.

David’s project proposes a novel AI chip architecture that leverages analog computing to reduce energy consumption and increase scalability for machine learning inference—an area with major implications for the future of edge computing and sustainable AI development.

“This recognition is a reflection of David’s deep curiosity, technical skill, and relentless dedication to addressing real-world challenges with bold, forward-thinking solutions,” said Brianna Abraham, a mentor of his at Camas High School. “We’re incredibly proud of his accomplishment on the international stage.”

The Regeneron ISEF is the world’s largest pre-college STEM competition, and earning a place among the winners is an extraordinary achievement. David’s accomplishment places him in the company of some of the most promising young innovators of his generation.
