Months of hard work and long hours have paid off for the six Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 students who co-founded RockMass Technologies.
The company won the (QICSI) Venture Pitch Competition, beating out seven other teams for the top prize of $30,000 in seed-funding.
RockMass Technologies is working to improve the safety and efficiency of geological mapping in the mining, civil engineering, and exploration industries. According to the company, the device 카지노 게임 컬렉션automatically maps a rock face while the software analyses the data and breaks it down into key information that is used to determine the structural stability of a tunnel, mine shaft and/or rock face.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The technology is based on research conducted at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s by Professor Joshua Marshall and PhD candidate Marc Gallant. Dr. Marshall and Mr. Gallant patented the technology through PARTEQ and the QICSI students licensed it.
