Spensa Technologies Inc is a start-up company housed in the Purdue Research Park. The company was founded in 2009 by Dr. Johnny Park.

Spensa's mission is to design, develop and deliver novel technologies for the agricultural industry that will reduce reliance on manual labor, foster eco-friendly farming, and enhance crop production efficiency.  Our technologies leverage our world-leading expertise in wireless sensor networks, robotics and computer vision.

Johnny founded Spensa in 2009 in recognition of the need in the agricultural industry for increased production efficiency. He is currently a Research Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University where he has been leading several research projects funded by various industry and government agencies, with over $3 million research funds raised in the last 5 years. He is interested in various topics in distributed sensor networks, computer graphics, computer vision, and robotics. Johnny received his BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees all from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. Johnny enjoys playing basketball in his spare time, and is still waiting for that one lucky NBA agent to give him a call.

Henry joined Spensa in 2010 after receiving his Ph.D from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.  At Purdue, his research focused on collaborative processing in wireless sensor networks and on signal processing algorithms for advanced embedded architectures. Henry received his B.E. and an M.S. degrees from the Federal University of Technology of Parana, Brazil. He has over ten years of research and development experience in the areas of embedded systems, signal processing, and wireless sensor networks.  Henry is currently in Brazil perfecting his tan, but in his spare time, he is leading the effort to expand Spensa's market in South America.

As the first employee of Spensa, Angela has been with Spensa since 2009, providing logistical support for engineering design, product development and business operations.  She received her BS degree in electrical engineering from Universidad Technologica de Pereira, Colombia.

In the quest of fulfilling his dream of building autonomous robots for world domination, Anderson joined Spensa in 2010. For now, he is focusing on embedded systems design and programming.  Anderson received his BS degree in Computer Engineering from Purdue University.
