Abstract
Title: Research to Commercialization: (Almost) Everything You Know is Wrong
Abstract: Writing a research paper is hard; commercializing technologies is much harder. Dr. Lu will take you through a journey exploring commercialization opportunities. He has participated in multiple entrepreneurship training programs on Purdue campus as well as serving as the Principal Investigator of a grant (IIP-1530914) from the National Science Foundation for market studies. He is a co-founder and the scientific advisor of a technology startup using video analytics for improving shoppers' experience in physical stores. The company has obtained $1M USD from the National Science Foundation and is raising investment fund now. This seminar will include a short speech about his experience followed by Q&A from the audience. He will explains the common misconceptions about commercialization and how to improve the chance of success (from extremely small to small).
