I have scoped a business plan based on the work I did during my Ph.D. and there is exciting potential to create a startup from my work that will spin out of the GEAR Lab. In the spring of 2023, I took part in The Engine’s Blueprint Program and I also entered into MIT’s Water, Food, and Agriculture (W.F.A.) Prize as a founder of the startup initially named GEARigation. I was a finalist for the W.F.A. Prize and my pitch and business plan won audience choice!
