Drishti Nepal
Drishti is an android based mobile application that recognizes different Nepalese currency notes and gives its audio output. Project Drishti is driven by a team of like-minded individuals together with the amazing powers of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning working to empower low vision and visually impaired individuals in Nepal in their financial transactions.
2021 - Computer Science and Art
Art Hub Nepal
Art Hub Nepal documented Nepali public artworks, creating a database of local paintings, murals, sculptures and architecture throughout Nepal. Art Hub Nepal uses this database of artwork to create an interactive map as an intuitive way for Nepali and foreign users to find and appreciate local art in Nepal. We hope to bridge the gap between local art, artists and society through Art Hub Nepal.
2020 - Economics
Team Arthasashtra
Project Artha's Economics Research provides deep insights on the relationship between one of the most prominent sources of income in Nepal - Remittance - and its impact on five major sectors, namely Education, Consumer Spending, Economic Investments, Migration Trends, and Youth Unemployment with the context of the global pandemic COVID-19 in mind. To understand the complex impact of Remittance, along with data analysis using econometric models, the team also included real-life perspectives through interviews with Nepalese migrant workers and forward-leaning policy proposals.
2021 - Art History
Team Samsara
Team Samsara worked together to research in the field of Thangka Art and Paintings at Incubate Nepal. While there is a variety of styles and iconography in the art form, the methods and conventions for creating such work are often highly defined and scriptural. The team identified and explored themes that serve as the discourse analysis of Thangka art in the first quarter of the 21st century. They crafted a paper titled “The Intersection of Tradition and Modernity in Thangka painting: Discourse Analysis” to understand the perspectives of artists, art sellers, galleries, and buyers in this field during the course of eight weeks at Incubate Nepal.
2020 - Physics
Team Brahmanda
At Incubate Nepal, team Brahmanda ventured on the quest to "Explore the history and the fate of the universe" and answer fundamental questions about the universe. Team Brahmanda started with the Friedmann's equations to model the expansion of the universe. They then dug deep into understanding the presence of matter, dark matter and dark energy in the universe. They were able to use their research to calculate the age of the universe from the first principles as well as predict the state of the universe in the future.
2021 - Biology
Team Tumornators
Team Tumornators worked on their biology project of Target Validation in novel CDK-12 Protein whose function is increasing in cancer cells. Team Tumornators proposed 3 experiments to validate CDK12's role: Western Blot, IC50 Cell Viability Assay and Flow Cytometry during their project course. In addition, computational drug discovery tools were implemented amongst a group of potent inhibitors extracted from literature and the potential best inhibitor was proposed by the team.
