How a bioastronautics Ph.D. became an environmental engineering professor
Why Evan founded Virridy to facilitate water security in drought prone regions in Africa
How Evan identified the date gap that Virridy filled
How the sensing technology works
How Virridy connects sensing data to satellite data
How Virridy leverages predictive analytics and machine learning to “pre-position” water supplies and food supplies
How and why Virridy imported its technology to the U.S.
The needs Virridy’s sensory and satellite linked technology fill in the U.S.
How Virridy facilitates demand response programs by electric utilities
Where Evan sees sensing technology and data usage in driving water policy
