Brendon Matusch is a Canadian young scientist who won Best Project at the Canada-Wide Science Fair and First Prize at the 30th EUCYS in 2018.
Biography[edit]
Brendon was born in Sudbury, Ontario.[6] He attends Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School where he developed a self driving go-cart using neural networks.[7]
With this project, called "Development of a Level 2 Autonomous Vehicle Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning",[8] he entered into the Canada-Wide Science Fair Ottawa 2018. At CWSF, he won Best Project,[6][7] becoming the youngest-ever recipient of the award.[9]
Additionally, he got the opportunity to compete in EUCYS Dublin 2018, where he won one of three First Prizes.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
Brendon used his knowledge of neural networks to contribute to the PICO experiment at SNOLAB, where he developed a system to predict the type of particle that initiated an event in a bubble chamber.[16]
The innovation[edit]
Matusch developed a system for locating road lines using convolutional neural networks. Additionally, he applied reinforcement learning to the task of steering, which allowed his vehicle to learn as it drives.[8][9]
