About this event

Landon obtained a PhD in aerobiology and pollination ecology at the University of Tulsa where he worked as the field ecologist and aerobiologist on a NASA-funded pollen forecast system project. He spent two years at Iowa State University as a postdoctoral researcher where he conducted research on biofuel pollen and managed a Corn Cropping System database for a 20 million-dollar NIFA-funded CAP grant. Landon is currently the CEO and cofounder of Pollen Sense.

Pollen Sense has revolutionized airborne particulate monitoring with the Automated Particulate Sensor (APS) . The aim of this device is to provide particulate recognition in the size range of most biological particulates, such as pollen and molds. This technology replaces the need for a human to maintain a spore trap device, manually stain microscope slides, and perform hours of counting. The APS automates the process, making it scalable, and provides results in minutes rather than at least a day later. The data from the Pollen Sense network are being used by major companies like Accuweather and Microsoft.
