Problem Statement
Existing terrestrial task management systems are ill-suited for suboceanic operations, where conventional peer-to-peer infrastructure – such as hardware-based monitoring, GPS tracking, or direct confirmation and communication – is either unavailable or poses significant risks, particularly for covert missions. These environments also face unique constraints, including communication delays, extreme conditions, and limited capacity for real-time oversight.
Our IP-protected software system enables: (1) the remote distribution of tasks to agents operating in suboceanic and other GPS-denied environments; (2) the monitoring and verification of those tasks; and (3) automated compensation to the owners or controllers of deployed agents upon task completion. The platform employs a computerized mechanism that leverages upgradable smart contracts to decompose tasks into multiple subfunctions, coordinate sequential execution, and resolve associated hashes upon completion, providing transparency, traceability, and security through blockchain technology.
The Team
Dr. Hagar is an expert in biophysical complex computer modeling, with extensive experience in complex processes simulations and designing and executing in vivo and clinical research. Dr. Koren is proficient in Big Data analytics, statistics and machine learning, and advanced programming techniques, with a track record of applying data-driven solutions across multiple fields. We have successfully developed innovative ideas and pivoted cross-disciplinary research directions to adapt to the demands of a competitive academic environment.
Our skills and experiences have positioned us to succeed in applied settings – while our academic track record includes dozens of academic publications, four NSF grants, and several other prestigious awards, our team has also founded three separate companies and secured several patent applications.
