The Power of Proof: How One Student’s Math Breakthrough Connects to Modern ScienceFor Connor Hill, winner of the top award at the 2026 Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), a program of Society for Science, that question centered on a class of geometric objects known as noble polyhedra. What began as an open-ended geometric question ultimately led to a complete classification of noble polyhedra, identifying two infinite families along with 146 isolated examples. Q&A: Where Foundational Math Meets Clinical ScienceDr. Wei: Connor, what first sparked your interest in mathematics, and how did this research take shape? My Regeneron Science Talent Search project didn’t start as one big breakthrough. Learn more about applying to the Regeneron Science Talent Search: https://sciencetalentsearch.smapply.org/
