From capstone project to career-launching innovation, Andrew Doty helped lead the UT-led FLARE-X team in building an autonomous fleet of small aircraft designed for early wildfire detection and suppression.
Â
Working alongside students, researchers, and faculty, Andrew helped develop technology aimed at stopping fires before they grow into disasters.
Â
After graduation, he continued supporting the effort through AIVE, a startup that grew out of FLARE-X.
