HARVARD Undergraduate Science Olympiad
2026-2027 (Middle East)

Ethan is studying Physics, and potentially Mechanical Engineering at Harvard University. He participated in Science Olympiad throughout high school, as well as other science competitions. He won a gold medal at the United States Physics Olympiad, and has won medals at regional competitions, such as Science Bowl, and Physics Bowl. He is very interested in space, and hopes to work in research related to space exploration. He is also a huge fan of soccer, hiking, and cooking.

Robin is studying Molecular and Cellular Biology and Computer Science at Harvard University. She is currently co-President of Harvard Undergraduate Science Olympiad and has previously placed top 3 multiple times in biochemistry and ecology events at various Science Olympiad invitationals and won the national Envirothon competition. When she’s not nerding out about proteins or birds, she enjoys spending time with her chubby cat, going for long walks, and reading!

Jonah Xu is studying Biological Engineering at MIT. He is currently on the MIT Science Olympiad Planning Committee and was an HUSO Event Supervisor for Microbe Mission. As a competitor, he medaled six times at the National Tournament, including three 1st place medals in Anatomy & Physiology. He is also a two-time USA Biology Olympiad Finalist, earning a silver medal in 2023. When Jonah’s not buried in a biology textbook, he enjoys exploring cafes, biking, and tinkering with Legos.

Luke is studying Chemical and Physical Biology, and Statistics at Harvard University. He is currently the Director of Service for the Harvard Undergraduate Science Olympiad team and won many national-level invitational and state medals, as well as placing 5th in Chemistry Lab at the 2023 National Tournament. He is a two-time US National Chemistry Olympiad Finalist, placing in the top 20 in the United States. Luke enjoys travelling, Mario Kart, and trivia.

Kevin is studying Computer Science, Math, and Statistics at Harvard University. He competed in many math and robotics competitions throughout his childhood, eventually qualifying for the USA Junior Math Olympiad and the VEX World Robotics Championship multiple times. Outside of STEM, he likes reading through Wikipedia, longboarding, and going to art museums.

Adelina is studying Mathematics at Harvard University. Throughout high school, she loved to solve puzzles about the world through science, which contributed to her medaling four times at the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad and two times at the International Mathematical Olympiad, as well as another two times at the International Chemistry Olympiad. When she is not nerding out thinking about numbers and formulas, Adelina enjoys reading, traveling, and exploring the world.

Heidi is studying Artificial Intelligence (and hopefully Earth Science too!) at MIT. She is currently on the MIT SciOly Planning committee and competed in Science Olympiad for Belmont High School, medaling at various state and invitational-level competitions. Her favorite event, Rocks and Minerals, led her to qualifying for and participating in the US Earth Science Training Camp (top 40 in the nation). In her free time, Heidi enjoys singing with the MIT Ohms, MIT’s premier South Asian fusion a cappella group, though her Hindi pronunciation needs some work.
