Alumni’s company lands $1.6M to help fight climate change
Kitchener-based startup Coastal Carbon has received $1.6 million in funding from Canada’s Ocean Supercluster (OSC) to undertake the AI-Driven Sensors for Seaweed Measurement Project.
Co-founded in 2022 by Waterloo Engineering alumni and PhD candidate Kelly Zheng (BASc '19, chemical engineering) and Thomas Storwick (BASc ‘19, nanotechnology engineering and MASc ‘21, chemical engineering), the company’s mission is to tap the ocean for valuable data.
