Research

We incorporate the latest scientific research in our work for clients, and we are deeply committed to furthering science in the public domain.

From conducting fundamental research into renewable biofuels, to bicycle-mounted cameras for counting potholes, we are always excited to connect with potential partners to pursue academic or applied research opportunities.
