UT ECE Grad Student Turning Idea into Company

UT ECE graduate student Chris Slaughter and his five-person engineering team are developing software for a 3-D modeling camera that can capture and help accurately render all the 3-D surfaces in a room. Chris has participated in the Austin Technology Incubator Student Entrepreneur Acceleration and Launch (SEAL) program to help turn his ideas into a company, Lynx Laboratories.

Chris has worked with UT ECE professor Sriram Vishwanath, who teaches and encourages business-minded young engineers.
