<\/a><\/p>\nHe moved from Shenzhen, China to Philadelphia for high school. In Junior year, He started conducting scientific research on methods of purifying air pollution at Stanford Nanofabrication Lab. One of his main focuses was to invent new materials that can effectively purify air particulate without energy consumption, a major concern in current air purification methods.<\/p>\n To achieve nano-scaled filtration for buildings and humans, he utilized pollutants-eating microorganism and harness energy storage material from Lithium-ion battery. There are two products, both are patent-pending. One is a novel type of architectural material that can filter out polluted particulates. The other is anti-pollution face masks.\u201d For His research, he won awards such as Intel STS and accepted to schools like MIT and Brown.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of my earliest memories from China is the increasing air pollution issue. Some of my relatives have gotten sick because of the pollution. I also learned that Over 7 million deaths each year – one in eight of total global deaths – are a result of air pollution exposure, and I wanted to tackle this greatly overlooked issue with science. \u201c<\/p>\n \u201cMy mission is to protect people from environmental pollution with zero energy waste. Unlike companies today that produce robust, energy-consuming systems, we focus on conducting advanced research and quickly translate results to cheap, effective and sustainable applications.”<\/p>\n Now Elvis\u2019s startup has reached a few major milestones. They have signed licensing contracts with over a dozen major real estate developers in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and China.<\/p>\n Elvis is also passionate about architecture and design. \u201cI\u2019ve worked at Arquitectonica International, one of the biggest architecture firm in the world. And my design has appeared in the U.S, China, and Italy. My work has won me national Youngarts award, Scholastic art and writing award, and nominated for Presidential Scholar in the Arts.\u201d See his work at: http:\/\/elviszhang.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
