Researcher, SUT Won the "Gold Medal" at Taiwan Innotech Expo 2025

The work "Ecolite Innovation to Transform PS White Foam Waste into Lightweight Building Materials" was supported to submit entries to the contest from the Academic Strength Budget of the School of Engineering, SUT. Creating pollution for the environment through the process of adding the value of PS white foam waste to engineering building materials. It has become an lightweight building material with strong, durable, and easy to manufacture. Low cost Use domestically available raw materials. It can be applied to the use of building materials such as floor blocks or plant pots that can release chemical fertilizers and plant fungicides. In creating innovations for the environment and sustainable development
