The UK Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) worked with four UK innovators to pitch their technologies at the inaugural Founder Hunt event at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
Collaborating with Michael Zilis, a fellow political science professor, Wedeking has combined efforts with the computer science program at UK to create an application that collects online news stories about the Supreme Court to compile the data in textual stories.
Through UK's partnership with Gen.G, the idea is to create an innovative esports program that maximizes student success and the potential for career opportunities in what is now a global, multibillion-dollar industry.
The partnership will emphasize access to opportunities for all UK students and develop a research portfolio to probe issues such as repetitive injury motion and societal concerns around gaming and violence.
