Yesterday, Dr. Sachio Semmoto, a serial entrepreneur and UF alumnus, recently visited the UF’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department where he attended a luncheon with the MIST Makers, the MIST Center’s undergraduate outreach and research program. During the luncheon, the Makers presented a proposal for their Smart Garden project that will feature integrated sensors, real-time garden feedback and a cloud-computing platform. Semmoto shared stories of his experiences in starting and leading major telecommunication corporations, as well as fielded questions from the team.
