Startup Junkie, which oversees The Science Venture Studio (SVS) has hired three talented students from the University of Arkansas as Commercialization Fellows for the Spring 2022 semester. Each student has been paired with an early stage science and technology company throughout the state to aid in market research, commercialization planning, and customer discovery as they prepare a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Grant with SVS.
The following students were selected from a very talented pool of applicants.
-
Ashley Fernandez Chiru, a Senior Biomedical Engineering student and a graduate of the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation’s Venture Intern Program.

“I wanted to be a commercialization fellow because I like the fast-paced entrepreneurial environment, and how important creativity and innovation mindset are in startups. I’m very excited to work with my assigned company and help them grow and thrive by contributing to a successful proposal for federal funding.”

-
Alexa Dalluge, a Senior Mechanical Engineer and receiving a Minor in Project Management. Dallague, an entrepreneur herself, has aspirations for starting two companies that are related to construction and engineering.

“These students bring a lot of experience and understanding in entrepreneurship and commercialization because of their involvement in various entrepreneurial programs that the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Arkansas offers”, said Katie Thompson, Director of Science Venture Studio. “I am very excited about the opportunities that will evolve this Spring.
