PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Consulting for Walmart

Synthis

Maize Project

As a one month challenge with The Knowledge Society, I got the chance to work with two other TKS students to tackle the question: "How do we [Walmart] recreate the physical store environment to be exciting and engaging for customers, by offering new services and experiences?"

Synthis is an idea that came out of a one month moonshot challenge with TKS. My team and I came up with a solar panel that is 5X more efficient than current solar panels which is made out of purple non sulfur bacteria. Our bacterial solar panels are truly renewable and have the capability to transform the renewable energy field.

After one year of reading hundreds of research papers and talking with experts in the GMO space, I have created a plan for a transgenic strand of maize that can provide food for millions more people by being pest resistant, heat tolerant, water efficient, nutrient dense and producing larger yields.
