(Central News Agency reporter Chen Chih-chung Taipei, May 16) Taiwan selected 12 student works to participate in the US Regeneron Science Fair, bringing home 2 grand awards and 3 special awards. Among them, Huang Chu-Han, a student from Taipei Fuhsing Private High School, developed a new thermoelectric material combining low-cost coconut coir and carbon nanoparticles, winning a third-place award.
National Taiwan Science Education Center today issued a press release stating that this year, 12 works and 18 students were selected from the Taiwan International Science Fair to participate in the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair in the United States, receiving one third-place grand award, one fourth-place grand award, and three special awards: the American Chemical Society First Award, the Mathematical Association of America Award of Recognition, and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey Award.
Among the most outstanding performers was Huang Chu-Han from Taipei Fuhsing Private High School, who won the third-place grand award in the "Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design Category" for her work titled "Temperature-Controlled Thermoelectric Phase Transition and Thermoelectric Application of Coconut Fiber Nanocarbon Composite Materials."
Huang Chu-Han's research focused on solving the problems of traditional green energy instruments, such as wind power generation, being environmentally unfriendly, costly, and having complex manufacturing processes. Through continuous attempts and systematic experiments, she successfully developed a new thermoelectric material combining low-cost coconut coir and carbon nanoparticles.
This research can be completed in a high school laboratory, and the single unit cost is only NT$4, demonstrating its application value for low-cost mass production while also considering environmental protection and sustainability, which was recognized by the judges.
Lu Pin-Jun, a student from Taipei Jian Kuo High School, won the fourth-place grand award in the mathematics category for his work titled "Investigation of Generalized Foci and Complete Quadric-Line Conic Sections and Conjugate Trajectories." He conducted in-depth research on "projective geometry" and further explored and extended "Newton's Conics," achieving outstanding results.
Huang Chu-Han and Lu Pin-Jun, having received grand awards, will be awarded NT$50,000 in prize money and will be eligible for recommended admission to relevant university departments, according to regulations. (Editor: Lee Hen-shan) 1150516
