  "summary": "Connor Hill won first place at the 2026 Regeneron Science Talent Search competition. His research classified noble polyhedra, identifying two infinite families and 146 isolated examples. Hill translated a geometric problem into a finite algebraic one for a complete classification. This method of reducing complexity is vital for modern biology and drug discovery. His work demonstrates how…",
