Jugend forscht: Award winners for a healthy and safe working environment

Germany’s best young scientists have also tackled problems relating to health and safety at work in the 2022 national “Jugend forscht” competition. Maximilian Pfannkuch (19), Jaro Filip (19) and Dominik Hein (19) from Hesse received the Federal Education Minister’s prize for the best interdisciplinary work. The three of them designed an innovative, app-controlled cleaning system that effectively disinfects room air with the light of LEDs. The national winner in the field of working environment was Vincent Nack (15) from Bavaria. He designed an autonomous emergency braking assistance system for bicycles that can prevent collisions. He used ultrasonic and position sensors as well as an electromechanical control of the rear wheel brake.
