Jameson Detweiler’s Summary

My background is in engineering. Drexel University recruited me to enter the SuperNOVA program, a new program where students complete their BS and PhD in six to seven years. I completed my undergraduate in Materials Science and Engineering and performed research in nanocomposite polymers.

During my undergraduate studies, I helped found the Drexel Smart House organization. I served as the organization president and helped build an organization of over 100 students. We convinced the University to allow us to use a 4500 square foot former fraternity to create a living laboratory for testing new designs and technologies for improving peoples lives.

This project caused me to change the direction of my studies and career to focus on sustainable design and technology. This resulted in the founding of two companies. The first being Summalux Technologies, a company developing advanced LED lighting technologies, and Konnect.Me, a B2B e-commerce network for emerging industries.
