(Updated 12/417 to reverberate the contributions of UC San Diego electrical engineering scientific discipline PhD student Babak Bahari.)
A startup that emerged from the UC San Diego electrical in addition to computer engineering subdivision took commencement house in addition to $10,000 this calendar week inwards the latest contest of the Triton Innovation Challenge, an annual UC San Diego trouble organisation contest for environmentally focused technologies.
A startup that emerged from the UC San Diego electrical in addition to computer engineering subdivision took commencement house in addition to $10,000 this calendar week inwards the latest contest of the Triton Innovation Challenge, an annual UC San Diego trouble organisation contest for environmentally focused technologies.
The team, BIC LIDAR, is working on compact, corporation terra firma lasers for LIDAR applications. For this competition, the squad focused on their LIDAR system’s possible applications inwards wildfire detection inwards forestry. However, autonomous vehicles are amid applications of this engineering that induce got large potential markets.
The researchers are aiming at size in addition to toll points that are significantly to a greater extent than compact in addition to less expensive than today’s LIDAR technologies. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 slide from BIC LIDAR's presentation suggests they are going for $10/device compared to LIDAR currently on the market, which comes inwards at to a greater extent than than $200/device.

The inquiry came out of the lab of Jacobs School of Engineering electrical engineering scientific discipline professor Boubacar Kante. One of the key players inwards the startup is Babak Bahari, a 4th twelvemonth graduate pupil at electrical in addition to estimator engineering scientific discipline subdivision at the Jacobs School of Engineering.
“We demonstrated the novel Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation based on completely novel physics that enables us to surpass a telephone substitution technological barrier inwards LIDAR technology. With this laser, nosotros tin take away all mechanical components, shrink the size of LIDAR systems into the nano-scale, in addition to growth the speed at to the lowest degree vi orders of magnitude,” said Bahari.
Want to a greater extent than details? The key technology: jump states inwards the continuum (BIC) lasers. They offering unique properties, including tunable emission angle, emission wavelength, in addition to potential for high-power applications. The squad is developing a tunable, chip-level, corporation terra firma BIC Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation for LIDAR that could last deployed inwards many unlike applications including wildfire detection in addition to autonomous vehicles.

The corporation terra firma LIDAR squad was i of the first cohort of startups to last accepted into the technology accelerator launched past times the UC San Diego Institute for the Global Entrepreneur in May 2017.
Second house inwards the same contest went to E-Way, which is a collaboration led past times Wei Huang, who is a Jacobs School materials scientific discipline graduate pupil inwards Joanna McKittrick’s lab, in addition to Alejandro Conde PhD, who is currently a Rady School MBA student.
According to the UC San Diego Office of Innovation in addition to Commercialization twitter feed @UCSDInnovation, E-Way is developing engineering to safely electrify roads using solar panels
The Triton Innovation Challenge, similar a shot inwards its 6th year, is a trouble organisation contest focused on fostering inventiveness in addition to bringing to the spotlight commercially promising, environmentally focused technologies generated past times the finest minds at UC San Diego. Supported through the generosity of The William in addition to Kathryn Scripps Family Foundation Inc., the plan is presented through a partnership of the Rady School of Management, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in addition to the Jacobs School of Engineering.
This close recent contest awarded cash prizes totaling $20,000 to back upwardly novel in addition to innovative ideas that relate to the surroundings (comes from, inspired by, or lead impacts nature.)
