Dexwell showcases coastal protection innovation with SeaPULSE platform, providing hands-on experience for Rady School of Business interns

July 22, 2024

Dexwell, Inc., a pioneer in real-time environmental monitoring and health assessment, proudly announces the successful completion of a groundbreaking project with interns from the Rady School of Business at UC San Diego. Under the expert supervision of Corina Shtir, PhD, CTO of Dexwell, interns Vishnu Mohan, Divyamsi Kunapareddy, Sandeep Pidaparthi, and Xintong Chen utilized Dexwell's proprietary PULSE platform to advance their knowledge and contribute to seawater health research.

The SeaPULSE project highlights Dexwell's commitment to enhancing environmental protection through advanced analytics, machine learning, and geospatial intelligence.    Recognizing the critical role seawalls play in guarding against erosion and storm surges, this project aimed to create a predictive framework for monitoring seawater conditions. This framework supports the proactive planning, construction, and maintenance of seawalls, benefiting both industry and government sectors.

By working hands-on with Dexwell's technology, the interns gained practical experience, showing how SeaPULSE can significantly enhance seawater health monitoring. The platform’s deep, intelligent analysis aims to reduce maintenance costs, extend seawall lifespan, and improve decision-making through data-driven insights, benefiting both communities and businesses.

Intern Achievements

The interns conducted comprehensive research on seawalls, identifying key factors that influence their integrity. They developed a detailed market analysis report enriched with geospatial data, highlighting buyer patterns and growth projections for seawall services. This extensive market research provided crucial insights into the current state of seawalls and the primary factors affecting their durability.

Using seawater sensor data, the interns extracted important metrics such as salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and water temperature. They validated this data through site visits and integrated trend data with SeaPULSE’s geospatial mapping to facilitate real-time trends and correlations. This geographic trend analysis identified patterns affecting seawall resilience, enabling more informed decision-making for maintenance and construction strategies.

In addition, the interns employed the XGBoost Time Series Model to create a predictive framework for monitoring seawater conditions. This predictive modeling provided highly accurate insights, supporting proactive seawall maintenance and construction strategies. Their work in this area is pivotal in anticipating and mitigating potential issues before they become costly problems.

The interns developed a robust business model. This included detailed customer personas, cost analysis, diverse pricing strategies, and revenue projections. They also crafted a strategic market entry plan to optimize resource allocation and market penetration.

SeaPULSE: Transforming Seawall Maintenance

SeaPULSE is a transformative tool in seawall maintenance, delivering real-time, actionable insights that reduce maintenance costs, extend seawall lifespans, and enhance decision-making for coastal protection. The platform integrates a wide range of environmental data, providing a holistic view of seawater health metrics, including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH levels, and turbidity. Leveraging robust machine learning models, SeaPULSE predicts future seawater conditions, facilitating proactive maintenance strategies and preventing costly repairs.

The platform also offers precise geospatial mapping and visualization of environmental data, enabling stakeholders to identify and address areas of concern effectively. With real-time monitoring capabilities, SeaPULSE ensures the timely detection of environmental changes and rapid implementation of countermeasures. Designed with an intuitive interface, SeaPULSE is accessible to a broad range of users, from government agencies to private sector companies involved in coastal protection.

"Dexwell is thrilled to celebrate the achievements of the Rady School of Business interns," said Corina Shtir, PhD, CTO of Dexwell. "Their innovative use of our PULSE platform has not only contributed to their professional growth but also demonstrated the significant impact of our work in enhancing seawater health monitoring. We look forward to driving further advancements in environmental health monitoring."
