Boston
Boston chapter: the MIT arc
Milestone
Flew to Boston
Met an incredible circle of researchers, founders and mentors.
Milestone
Presented MatchMind across MIT and Boston
Shared MatchMind with researchers, founders and mentors including Ramesh Raskar (MIT Media Lab), Vladimir Bulović (MIT.nano), Ed Moriarty (MIT Edgerton Center), Leigh and Sam Estabrooks (MIT Lemelson), John Werner, Brendan McSheffrey, Abhishek Mehta (Tresata) and Joongwha Byeon (K-Pop Times).

2026
Climate
The STRATUM era
Milestone
Started STRATUM: Conrad Challenge 2026–27
Led a team of four to tackle aviation's hidden climate impact: contrails.
Research
Pre-registered the science
Locked in our hypotheses and tests before seeing any results, and published every change openly.
Milestone
Advanced to the Innovation Stage 🏆
Conrad Challenge, after the Lean Canvas round (October 2026).
AI
Built a satellite contrail detector
Trained on Google's OpenContrails data and DLR expert scenes; it matches experts at a pixel Dice of 0.64 (a single expert reaches about 0.72).
Research
Checked against the satellite
Raw weather data over India predicts far more contrails than Meteosat-9 confirms; our model ranks contrail risk much better than physics alone (AUROC 0.65–0.83 against 0.42–0.66).
Project
Launched live altitude advice
A live map telling flights over India which altitude would avoid a warming contrail, for planes in the air now and those departing later today.
Outreach
Feedback from contrail researchers
Shared the work with university researchers in the field and got detailed technical feedback.
Next
Conrad Phase 2
Final paper, demo video and live site, due 7 January 2027.
