|---|---|
| Occupation(s) | Professor Entrepreneur |
Kripa K. Varanasi is an Inventor, Entrepreneur, and Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The focus of his work[1] is on physico-chemical phenomena particularly at interfaces and developing novel materials and interfaces, devices, and products that can dramatically enhance performance in energy, biomedical, water, agriculture, transportation, and consumer devices.
He has co-founded multiple companies including LiquiGlide,[2][3][4] Dropwise, Infinite Cooling,[5][6][7] Alsym Energy,[8][9] AgZen[10][11] and Coflo Medical. Time[12] and Forbes[13] Magazines have named LiquiGlide to their "Best Inventions of the Year". His Infinite Cooling project has won first prize at DOE's National Cleantech University Prize, First prize Rice Business Plan Competition, first prize Harvard Business School Energy & Environment Start-up, First prize at MIT-100K,[14] First prize at MassChallenge. His recent work on Electrochemical removal of CO2 from oceans[15][16] has been listed in the IUPAC's 2023 Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry.[17]
