In the article "Revolutionary Tales: Inside GW's New Venture Competition," GW Today spotlights two GW graduate students, including GW Engineering student Adrian Outlaw, who recently presented their commercial ventures and won awards at the annual New Venture Competition. Outlaw, founder of Outlaw Motor Company, won second place in the Business Goods and Services Track for his hydrogen-powered engine prototype, designed to enhance safety and sustainability in military and autonomous transport.
Here is an excerpt from the article: "For the past school year, he has worked with OIE mentors and GW professors to hone his prototype, which is an engine optimized to burn hydrogen as fuel.

His “why” has always been at the top of mind."
