The lab funded Masters and Ph.D students from across the university, and they have been among the most successful ATEC and EMAC graduates, going on to work in Google ventures funded companies, working as innovation coaches at AT&T, and starting their own companies like NEX Coworking & Incubation & The Runner Agency.
