Pulse Utility team members
Led by
Craig Opie, a UH Mānoa information and computer sciences undergraduate student, Pulse Utility aims to assist the rail project with locating underground utilities along the rail line, a job that has added major costs and time to the project. Pulse Utility uses ground penetrating radar, a safe and non-invasive technology, to locate all buried infrastructure. Opie said the team plans to finish its data collection and present its solution to the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation with the goal for a potential contract.
“This entire competition has been a lot of work and dedication by all of our team members, and it feels amazing to know that our hard work has paid off,” Opie said. “We are excited to provide our solution, which reduces time and money in the search and permitting process for buried utilities.”
The webinar series, launched by
UH law lecturer
Gregory Kim, who started the nonprofit Business Law Corps with attorney and former student
Catherine Taschner, began last week and continues every Thursday at 10 a.m. through April 29, 2021, via Zoom. Participants can register online.
“If you lost your job or had to close your business because of
COVID-19, or maybe you are ready to start your side hustle all are welcome,” said Kim, a corporate attorney who has an
MBA in addition to his
JD degree.
The series is aimed at jumpstarting companies that have been hit hard by the pandemic, and offers an expansive series presenting advice from experts in the field. Each webinar will have helpful forms and handouts which will be explained during the session.
