• Part of Rajaram's project looked at an open-source Al model that can read text from images. If an image of a red traffic light were next to text that says green, the model would often classify it as a green traffic light.

"protecting" it against that specific failure.
• STS judges focus on candidates'
achievements beyond
their projects. "They want to see how well-rounded you are because they are looking for the next generation of scientific leaders," Ajmera said.
• Over the last 82 years, STS's alumni have included 13
Nobel Prize winners, 23 McArthur Fellows, and 11
National Medal of Science awardees. Rajaram plans to continue studying computer science at MIT in the fall.
