Project lead: Oversee the overall strategic vision, set key performance indicators (KPIs), and manage high-level timelines. Responsible for final decision-making, resolving inter-departmental conflicts, and ensuring that all sub-teams remain aligned with the project’s overarching goals.
Project liaison: Act as the primary bridge between different sub-teams to ensure seamless communication. Responsible for tracking progress, identifying bottlenecks, and synchronizing deliverables to ensure the project moves forward at the required pace. Additionally coordinates with WPI's AIChE chapter.
Process design lead: Serve as the translator between the lab and entrepreneurial team. Utilize scientific literature and experimental results to design, refine, and scale processes, ensuring that lab discoveries are viable for real-world implementation.
Laboratory lead: Manage daily operations within the laboratory environment. Responsible for overseeing experimental workflows, managing inventory and supply procurement, enforcing safety protocols, and coordinating the use of space and equipment among team members.
Entrepreneurship lead: Drive the commercialization strategy and market validation efforts. Responsible for developing business models, conducting market research to identify target demographics, reaching out to potential sponsors, and ensuring that the project’s outcomes address genuine market needs.
We believe that the best solutions come from diverse perspectives and a willingness to learn. You don’t need to be an expert, or even a chemical engineer, to make an impact; you just need to be curious. We are open to students of all majors who are eager to build, iterate, and grow with us. Whether you are new to the world of chemical engineering or simply looking to apply your unique background to a real-world project, we welcome you. No prior experience is required. We are here to support you as you develop the skills that will set you apart in your future career.
