14-Year-Old Develops AI Tool to Enhance Microalgae Biofuel via CRISPR
Millie Pradawong, a 14-year-old from Virginia, has created an AI-based computational tool designed to predict how CRISPR gene editing can optimize microalgae for biofuel production. Her project, named MACRO, focuses on boosting oil yields in microalgae without compromising the organisms' growth rate. The work earned her a finalist spot in the 2026 3M Young Scientist Challenge, a prestigious competition for young innovators. Millie hopes her research will contribute to advances in clean energy and biotechnology.
