GRADUATE STUDENTS (EE & CHEME) | NEVADA TECH TRANSFER OFFICE

The TTO is looking to help spinout a number of businesses based on UNR/DRI technologies. These businesses have the potential to be led by the ‘right’ students. To be clear these are not just student projects, we are specifically looking for a motivated student/s to help startup and potentially be involved in the resulting businesses in the long term. These opportunities already have a graduate business student involved but we need some technical expertise to progress.

It is our intention to enter both these opportunities into the Cleantech Open: http://www2.cleantechopen.org/

The current opportunities are:

High Density Heating Element
Needed: Electrical Engineer
http://unr.testtechnologypublisher.com/technology/5849
The Technology Transfer Office is seeking an electrical engineer interested in joining a project working on a high speed portable water boiling solution. The project involves a patented high power-density heating element design developed at UNR which will be utilized to build an electric camp stove similar to the JetBoil. With advancements in battery technologies making this process possible, this project aims to capture a portion of the $646 billion/year outdoor industry and contract with the US military. The electrical engineer would assist with product design and computer simulation.

Coffee Biofuels
Needed: Chemical Engineer
http://unr.testtechnologypublisher.com/technology/5496
UNR has been granted the patent for a process to produce bio-diesel fuel from coffee ground waste, and the TTO is looking for a chemical engineer with an interest in business to get in on the ground floor. The technology uses transesterification to produce bio-diesel from the oil in spent coffee grounds. This process could add 340 million gallons of bio-diesel to the world’s fuel supply, reduce global warming, and provide a profit of more than $8 million/year.
