QRA Corp
A startup based on Dal research
Summary
Jordan Kyriakidis was applying quantum physics to real-world problems through a research collaboration with industry giant Lockheed Martin when he had the idea for QRA Corp.
The associate professor had noticed similarities between the complexity of engineering systems used in aerospace designs and the nature of a physics problem his Dalhousie research team was investigating.
Eventually, QRA Corp was established in 2013 to translate his lab’s research into highly specialized software that can help companies working with complex integration systems detect flaws in the early stages of their designs.
