Founded in 2015, Activate empowers scientists and engineers to reinvent the world by launching startups to address climate change and other global challenges. Working between government, philanthropy, universities, and the private sector, Activate transforms scientists and engineers into high-impact entrepreneurs through the Activate Fellowship, a two-year immersive experience that equips science entrepreneurs with the skills, networks, infrastructure, and funding they need to quickly and effectively bring their groundbreaking research to market. Activate is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and does not charge any fee nor equity for fellows to participate. Activate’s entrepreneurial fellowship model originated at Cyclotron Road, founding Activate partner and the first U.S. Department of Energy's Lab Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP) started at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Activate supports fellows in communities across the U.S.: Activate Berkeley, Activate Boston, Activate New York, Activate Houston, and Activate Anywhere. Learn more at Activate.org.

Storrs Mansfield, Connecticut, United States

Andros is developing a novel reactor to produce ammonia efficiently at atmospheric pressure. The reactor replaces the status-quo Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production. The low-cost energy-efficient reactors that Andros is developing can enable a switch to low-carbon fertilizers, ammonia as a hydrogen carrier, and as a sustainable marine fuels.

Flint Michigan

As a student researcher I performed extensive extractions using supercritical carbon dioxide operating under various operating parameters and Ultrasonic Extractions in an ultrasound bath to gather data required for publications and conference talks.As a student researcher working under another project I performed extensive simulations on polymers to understand the molecular dynamics of the configuration. The simulation software used was LAMMPS.
