    Ep. 27: Ohio State Innovator of the Year Sanjay Krishna

    The Ohio State University is an elite research institution where thousands of world-class researchers discover and innovate on a daily basis. But annually only one of these researchers is named Ohio State Innovator of the Year. In 2025, that someone is Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Sanjay Krishna. Sanjay and his team are developing next-generation infrared detectors, arrays and imagers. He is co-founder and chief technical officer of SK Infrared, a startup company focused on defense, aerospace and biomedical applications of infrared imaging. He also launched a course to teach entrepreneurial-minded engineering students how to create value from their inventions. Views: 14

    Ep. 26: 25 years of the Honda-Ohio State Partnership

    Collaborations between companies and universities aren’t uncommon, but few, if any, can match the Honda-Ohio State Partnership and the mutual impact it has made on both iconic institutions. The 25th anniversary of this iconic partnership will be celebrated later this month, but in reality the collaboration began shortly after Honda arrived in the Buckeye State in 1979. Together, Honda and Ohio State have transformed research and learning experiences for students, launched careers, sparked innovation, and strengthened the mobility industry in Ohio and beyond. In this episode, Dean Ayanna Howard chats first with American Honda Motor Company Executive Vice President Bob Nelson, and then with two Honda Launchpad students (Sarina Mathis and James Colachis) about collaboration, innovation and creativity.

    Ep. 24: Professor & Entrepreneur Jessica Winter

    A professor in Ohio State’s William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Jessica Winter is a well-known leader in nanobiotechnology and has invented materials used in cancer detection and research. She has developed methods to tightly pack multiple nanoparticles in polymer carriers so that their properties could be multiplied. This approach led to her invention of MultiDot, a group of semiconductor nanoparticle quantum dots that allow researchers to track tagged molecules. In biomedical applications, researchers can attach the MultiDot to specific cell structures and better identify and understand disease progression. After being diagnosed with cancer, she started Core Quantum Technologies, which commercialized her research and focuses on a nanoparticle diagnostic that matches cancer patients to therapies, allowing patients to become fully informed about the best possible treatments for their disease.
