Adrian Lenkeit in the Hall of Fame

Adrian Lenkeit

Adrian Lenkeit qualified for the state level contest with 7 of his 9 projects. Adrian, Laurenz Walkowsky and Matthias Schäfers were recognized as state champions in engineering in 2011 for their development of a robotic school assistant. His model of a radio interferometer made him state champion in geosciences and astronomy in 2013. In 2014, Adrian Lenkeit, Björn Bouwer and Nico Hochgürtel became state champions in engineering for their development of a robotic arm with an innovative hand. During the same year, his project on many-body simulations with a graphics adapter was upgraded to the contest "Jugend forscht", made him state champion in computer science and was recognized with the 4th place in computer science in Germany as well as the 4th place in physics and astronomy at ISEF 2015 in the USA. Thus, Adrian accomplished the remarkable achievement of becoming state champion "Schüler experimentieren" and state champion "Jugend forscht" in the same year. Together with Matthias he became state champion in engineering and won the 5th place engineering in Germany in 2015 and the 2nd award of the Acoustical Society of America at ISEF 2016 in the USA for his work on acoustic microfluidics. Finally, Adrian, Marvin Lohaus and Max Oehmichen became state champions in engineering and won the national information technology award with their project wave switches wave in 2016.
