Published in Water Research, June 2022 We designed and validated a sensitive, continuous, in-situ, remotely reporting tryptophan-like fluorescence sensor and coupled it with a machine learning model to predict high-risk fecal contamination in water (10 colony forming units (CFU)/100mL E. coli). We characterized the sensor’s response to multiple fluorescence interferents with benchtop analysis. The sensor’s…

Millions of people living in the drought prone Horn of Africa face persistent threat from a lack of safe, reliable and affordable water year-round. The arid regions of Kenya are experiencing increasing frequency and severity of drought conditions. Virridy’s satellite connected sensors are monitoring millions of people’s water supplies in the region on a daily…
Read MoreVirridy to develop soil carbon sensors and models
We are developing an entirely new sensor-based approach to the monitoring of soil carbon changes. The current state of the science, products and market relies on expensive and unreliable field measurements that are difficult to scale and/or modeling approaches that are partially to wholly abstracted from real-world changes in field conditions. Our new soil carbon…
