Anna Podmanická's achievement at Regeneron ISEF 2025 Global Science Fair
Anna Podmanická, a gifted student from Gymnázium Jura Hronca, secured 4th place at the prestigious Regeneron ISEF 2025 finals in Ohio, USA. Her project on wastewater purification impressed the expert jury and earned her a special award from the King Abdulaziz & his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity. The success of the Slovak AMAVET delegation at this competition was further highlighted by Adam Kovalčík’s overall victory.
We have reported on the achievements of Slovak high school student Anna Podmanická several times before. Now, the talented future scientist from the Slovak Gymnázium Jura Hronca has won 4th place at the global finals of the Regeneron ISEF 2025 (Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair) held in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Anna was part of the Slovak delegation organized by AMAVET (Association for Youth, Science and Technology). Last year, together with Adam Kovalčík, she earned her spot at the global Regeneron ISEF 2025 finals by winning at AMAVET 2024.
Her project, titled “New Wastewater Purification Strategy: Graphitic Carbon Nitride and Low-Temperature Plasma”, competed in the Environmental Sciences category and was one of 79 projects that made it to the global finals. Anna worked on the project under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Tomáš Homola and František Zažímal at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and the CEPLANT center, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University.
In addition to winning 4th place in the Environmental Engineering category at Regeneron ISEF 2025, she also received 1st place in the special award from the King Abdulaziz & His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity. The overall winner of the global finals was also a member of the Slovak AMAVET delegation, Adam Kovalčík.
