Indian-origin Soorajnath Boominathan is part of a four-member team that will represent the US in the annual 47th International Chemistry Olympiad to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from July 20 to 29.
A resident of Oklahoma state, Boominathan has recently earned his graduation from Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics. “I think representing my country is the most amazing part of this whole experience. It is hard to put into words what this means,” the 16-year-old was quoted as saying in an India West report.
Boominathan, who has lived in Oklahoma for the past 10 years, will be attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology this fall.
The chemistry competition consists of two exams that can last as long as five hours each and need to be attended on separate days.
