The Case Western Reserve - Intwine Connect partnership agreement advances research and development directed by Dr. Ken Loparo, Nord Professor and chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the university. 

The focus of the EECS Department is on smart and connected devices and systems. This is a natural fit with Intwine Connect’s technology and business, which helps integrate Loparo's R&D with it's own technology to create real-world commercially applicable solutions. Loparo and his research team are involved in wide-ranging research that integrates streaming sensor data with custom analytics to support autonomous control and decision-support systems with applications to energy, healthcare, and manufacturing/production.

The partnership is about both technology and talent. Intwine and its technology platform have been spun into the university, as Intwine brings its own patents, technology, and expertise to the relationship. Collaborative developments with research and the technology-transfer office will be spun out. Intwine and Case Western are working together to prove and optimize IoT technology while functionally growing a young team of top engineering and technical sales talent.
