Research innovation leads to solutions for improving quality-of-life and productivity, and entrepreneurial thinking transforms the innovation into practice. The Parex Innovation Fellowship will enable me to bridge the gap between research innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. My HQPs will exercise their system design and optimization expertise to improve the intelligence and automation of a real-world system."
