He is fascinated by UAVs (drones) and built his first one during hi Master’s thesis in Computer Science, which ended up being in the field of Aerial Robotics. After that he ended up founding an aerial mapping company that relies on a fixed-wing that I built integrating parts from all over the world and did a surveying job on behalf of Airbus in a factory in São Paulo. He eventually began working as a mobile System Engineer in the camera department of Eldorado Research Institute.
We envision creating an ideal, plug and play payload following a standardized connection that employs the CAMPOS method. It also acquires high precision camera position and orientation from communication with the autopilot and directly embeds this data in the photo files that are stored in a removable media. For processing these images in the photogrammetry software one would only need to load them and not need to worry about auxiliary GNSS files neither syncing them with the photographs, a cumbersome, but traditional step today. For this we would rely on Eldorado’s profound expertise on cameras to create a product specifically targeting the UAV market and its inherent characteristics.

After graduating in Chemical Engineering, he worked for 2 years in software startups, taking on commercial and management roles. In 2018, he joined Nanogreen, a startup working on developing new and cleaner nanotechnology, initially for the health sector.

He worked in the last five years leading two biopharmaceutical production teams produced in a Brazilian public university. In this period the “Apilic Antivenom” that is the only specific treatment available for bee stings on the market today was developed. The second product is the Heterologous Fibrin Sealant derived from snake venom, which replaces human blood used in the production of commercial fibrin sealants. It is also being tested as a scaffold for stem cells, nerve and bone regeneration. Both products have finished Phase II multicenter clinical trials in Brazil right now and have been patented and licensed. At the moment he is developing expertise in translational medicine and bench to the bedside medicine with approach to development of new molecules in order to bridge the gap between basic and applied research, focusing to activities in the innovation and entrepreneurship

Chiara Valsecchi graduated in Chemistry from the University of Milan, Italy, in 2009. She did her graduation at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada. Here, her research was part of the NSERC Strategic Network on Bioplasmonic Systems (BiopSys) that aimed at the development of a new generation of plasmonic nanosensors for cancer detection. After moving to Brazil, she obtained her Ph.D in Chemistry from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, studying the solvent-solvate interactions of ionic liquids by molecular dynamics. Since 2016, she is a Professor at the Federal University of Pampa, Brazil, working on the development of new industrial sustainable materials, like glass and adsorbents for water treatment, from the bio and agricultural waste present in the region.
Her products are the “Phoenix Spheres: light-reflective glass microsphere from rice husk ashes.” Agricultural waste and food byproducts have gained increasing attention, like rice husk ash (RHA). Being a natural product, RHA retains some minerals from the soil that can affect the transparency of the glass. Thus, the crucial step for the effective industrial application of RHA as a source of silica for transparent glass production is the removal of those impurities. In our project, we demonstrated how to produce transparent glass by controlling the redox equilibrium of the glass melt. This allowed the production of a practical and market-ready application for the glass produced by our method: glass reflective microsphere. These spheres are used for road horizontal and vertical signaling. Overall, this project will allow generation of unique new sustainable technology, with an abundant market flow, while redirecting an industrial waste to a new commercial value and improving the development of the agricultural region of Brazil where the Federal University of Pampa is inserted.

RAAAM develops the highest-density embedded memory in standard CMOS technology. Embedded memories, mostly based on Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), consume over 50% of the chip size of modern applications, such as artificial intelligence, 5G, Internet-of-Things, and automotive. RAAAM has developed a new type of an embedded memory technology called Gain-Cell RAM, which provides 50% reduced area compared to SRAM and is fully compatible with any standard CMOS fabrication process. Since the chip size is directly proportional to its fabrication cost, customers (fabless chip-design companies) will be able to reduce their fabrication costs while maintaining the same system characteristics (functionality, power, performance).
