Research Engineering at Plenty Unlimited

With a background in hydroponic production and electrical engineering, Pedersen will use intersectional knowledge to push the limits of recirculating irrigation systems, HVAC design that captures and collects transpiration, and novel lighting techniques that provide a tailored energy spectrum for the best-tasting fruits and vegetables.
