Victoria Ou and Justin Huang, both 17-year-old students at College Park High School in The Woodlands, Texas, developed an innovative ultrasonic filtration system that removes 84–94% of microplastics from water in lab settings.
The idea sparked during a visit to a water treatment plant where they realized the inefficiency of existing removal methods.
Their method is eco-friendly, non-chemical, and utilizes ultrasonic waves to cluster and remove microplastic particles effectively.
At the 2024 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the pair earned the Gordon E. Moore Award for Positive Outcomes for Future Generations, which included a $50,000 prize.
