Examples
DeepTech provides WHOI with resources & expertise to pursue a wide range of activities in ocean technology, science, education, and outreach. The below ideas reflect many activities DeepTech has supported since its inception.
Build stronger clusters of expertise at WHOI
WHOI's engineering & technical staff are among the best in the world. Part of being the best is staying abreast of new advances in technology and fabrication. DeepTech helps WHOI pilot new clusters of experts in important technical areas.
Develop a New Sensor or Instrument
DeepTech helps WHOI develop novel sensors and instruments. WHOI users get access to dedicated R&D space, electronic test and assembly equipment, advanced prototyping resources, test and calibration equipment, and technical expertise.
Use AVAST resources for a course
DeepTech resources can be reserved for Joint Program courses that involve technology. Teaching lab space and technical equipment are available.
Use AVAST for higher-volume assembly
DeepTech provides space and resources to scale up assembly or fabrication of research equipment.
Enhance your large, cross-cutting program
DeepTech can help WHOI users connect the technical and science components of large, multi-group initiatives. DeepTech 's Innovation Hub provides a focal point for collision and collaboration.
Propose a technical training workshop or seminar series
A core part of DeepTech 's mission is to better connect experts to people who need that expertise. DeepTech 's social hub, conference room, and project spaces are used for training programs, including hands-on teaching.
Ship to Shore telepresence
DeepTech has telepresence equipment that can help WHOI connect with research at sea.
Pre-Cruise Testing
DeepTech resources in the David Building are used to integrate, test, or troubleshoot equipment being prepared for upcoming cruises.
Outreach & Engagement
DeepTech helps WHOI teach others about ocean projects and programs.
