2020 YIS Finalist
Bio
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Ray Liu’s mother was an essential worker. She wanted a UV sanitizer for high-risk personal items, like her Compass card, smartphone and facemask. When he checked Amazon, he found that most of them were sold out and the ones still available were over $200 or marked up exorbitantly. He also found sanitizers that used ineffective UVA radiation instead of UVC, endangering consumers with a false sense of security.
In response to this important need, Ray came up with a solution. His YIS innovation, Sanicube, is an easily manufactured and low-cost UV sanitizer for personal belongings. His design utilizes readily available materials and features a mechanical enclosure that can be printed on most standard-sized 3D printers. The enclosure incorporates safety interlocks to prevent skin and eye exposure to the UVC radiation.
Ray is excited to share Sanicube with the world and show that there is an alternative to the expensive and potentially unsafe UV sanitizers currently on the market. He is also eager to see decentralized manufacturing help bring this project to life, providing Sanicube to any who need it within our communities during COVID-19.
