The International Research Competition for Young Scientists (IRCYS) is an annual competition organized by the Indonesia Scientific Society and the Bandung Creative Society. It serves as a platform for high school students and students from around the world to showcase their passion for scientific research, practice skills, and interact with international peers.
In the 2023 IRCYS competition held in Indonesia, the team from Lawrence S.
