I attended the ARPA-E 2024 Energy Innovation summit in Dallas, TX, as part of the ARPA-E student program. Additionally, I was also part of the I-Corps (Innovative Corps) program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The mission of I-Corps is to bridge the gap between fundamental research discoveries in science and engineering and the commercialization of technologies, products, and processes with the potential to benefit society. With the support of I-Corps, we explored the business potential of our startup “EnergyGPT”, including customer discovery.
