We are excited to share that Gabriel Cassio, a postdoctoral researcher from Ed Yu's lab at the Center for 

Dynamics and Control of Materials, has been awarded the prestigious Activate Fellowship. This opportunity allowed him to turn his innovative research into a start-up.

 

The two-year Activate Fellowship offers early-stage science entrepreneurs funding, technical resources, and exceptional support from a diverse network of scientists, engineers, investors, commercial partners, and fellow innovators. It provides essential resources, mentorship, and funding to help early-stage entrepreneurs navigate the journey from concept to market.

Gabriel’s start-up, Nanoscale Labs, is a cutting-edge start-up focused on developing advanced nanotechnology solutions for various industries. Their work centers around creating innovative materials and devices at the nanoscale, aimed at enhancing performance and efficiency in fields such as electronics, healthcare, and energy. By leveraging proprietary techniques in nanomaterial synthesis and characterization, Nanoscale Labs aims to address pressing challenges, such as improving drug delivery systems and boosting renewable energy technologies. Their interdisciplinary team combines expertise in physics, chemistry, and engineering to push the boundaries of what’s possible at the nanoscale. This venture showcases Gabriel's innovative approach and determination to bridge the gap between academic discovery and real-world impact. By translating his findings into tangible solutions, Gabriel exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit fostered within Ed Yu's lab and the broader mission of the Center for Dynamics and Control of Materials.

 

We congratulate Gabriel on this remarkable achievement and look forward to seeing how his venture develops.
