(Press-News.org) Graduate Suraj Sudera created an AI powered grill to cook the perfect steak.
His love of engineering led him to create the device called Perfecta™
He founded Birmingham based start-up SEERGRILLS which applies AI and advanced technologies to improve cooking.
An Aston University engineering graduate has created the world’s first AI powered grill.
Suraj Sudera has created a cooking device called Perfecta™ which cooks the perfect steak in 90 seconds.
Suraj graduated from Aston University in 2015 with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and again in 2018 with an MSc Ophthalmic Engineering.
He initially worked for Aston University spinout, EYOTO, which develops medical devices. He worked his way up to vice president of engineering, before setting up, and then selling, another company.
However, it was his love of engineering and product development that sparked his ‘light bulb’ moment which led him to create an AI powered grill which can cook food to an individual’s exact preference.
He founded SEERGRILLS, a Birmingham based start-up, which applies AI and advanced technologies to improve cooking.
Suraj said: “We noticed there is often difficulty and inconsistency in cooking food; it’s mostly always overcooked and dry, taking a long time.
“So, we decided to use our skills and knowledge to apply AI to cook the perfect steak and set up SEERGRILLS.
“We developed our first product called Perfecta™ which is the world’s first AI powered grill, the world’s fastest grill, the world’s most intelligent grill and the world’s most efficient grill.”
The device is powered by NeuralFire™ technology, which is AI combined with a proprietary cooking system which can cook more than 50 types of food in under three minutes.
AI calculates the time needed to cook the food based on size, surface area and fat content, and the burners adapt as needed.
Suraj’s Birmingham-based company now employs 48 people, many of whom are Aston University alumni, and his product is available to pre-order in the US.
Suraj said as well as providing him with an education his time at Aston University helped grow his technical skillset and demonstrated to him the importance of networking.
He said: “Creating a company or a product is a bit like putting a man on the moon. One has to visualise the future, and then work backwards, breaking down the journey into its most fundamental components and organise these in a pragmatic way which balances priority, cost and resource.
“Think of a five-dimensional moving jigsaw puzzle in your head - It gets very difficult very quickly, therefore planning, focus, hard work and grit are essential.
“Equally, serendipity and networking are powerful, so exploring, constantly learning and putting yourself in new situations can be pivotal. Entrepreneurship is very rewarding process – to do what nobody else has, you must do what nobody else does.”

IU cancer researcher receives $2.2 million grant for metastatic breast cancer research
2023-10-03
INDIANAPOLIS— A breast cancer researcher at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center received a five-year, $2.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to examine how certain immune cells support metastatic breast cancer development—and how to stop it.
Cells called macrophages usually perform essential tasks as part of the immune system, but breast cancer cells can hijack them to protect cancer cells and help them grow. When this happens, they become tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).
“Our goal is to interrupt that communication process between those two cell ...
Using recent diagnostic scans can substantially cut time to treatment for patients needing urgent palliation
2023-10-03
SAN DIEGO, October 3, 2023 — Using previously taken diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans in place of CT simulation scans to plan simple palliative radiation treatments can substantially reduce the time some people spend waiting for urgent treatment, improving the patient experience, a new study suggests.
Patients who may benefit from this expedited process typically are experiencing pain or other debilitating symptoms, such as an airway blockage. Relying upon existing, recent scans instead of taking new ones reduced the time these patients spent at a cancer treatment center, from nearly five hours to under 30 minutes, ...
Brain regions identified that may play a role in Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy
2023-10-03
New findings may take scientists a step closer to understanding what causes SUDEP—Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy—a rare but fatal complication of epilepsy.
There are about 3,000 deaths from SUDEP each year in the U.S. The biggest risk factor is epilepsy that is not well controlled with medication or surgery, but the exact cause of SUDEP is not known. However, increasing evidence suggests that loss of breathing, or apnea, that persists after a seizure is a major cause of SUDEP.
In the new study, University of Iowa neuroscientists found that stimulating a specific ...
Researchers report protein mutation creates ‘super’ T cells with potential to fight off cancer and infections
2023-10-03
Using laboratory-grown cells from humans and genetically engineered mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have evidence that modifying a specific protein in immune white blood cells known as CD8+ T cells can make the cells more robust, potentially opening the door for better use of people’s own immune system T cells to fight cancer.
The findings were published Oct. 3 in the journal JCI-Insight.
“Maximizing the effectiveness of T-cell-based therapies remains a critical challenge,” says David Kass, M.D., Abraham and Virginia Weiss Professor of Cardiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of ...
Enhancing the efficiency of plant regeneration
2023-10-03
Crop modification can be traced to the beginning of agriculture and human civilization.
Native Americans, for example, developed corn from a wild grass called teosinte more than 7,000 years ago.
Methods to increase crop resiliency and sustainability have evolved, and improved, over time. Biotechnology, or the use of biology to develop new products and organisms, is an application that holds great promise for impactful changes to the agricultural systems. Through this method, the DNA in plant cells is modified — for instance ...

Disaster-proofing sustainable neighborhoods requires thorough long-term planning, new Concordia study shows
2023-10-03
Individual neighbourhoods will be intimately involved in providing local solutions to collective problems. One measure will be distributed renewable energy production — energy produced at local levels, either by solar technology, wind or other methods, will push cities to achieve their net-zero targets.
However, even these power-generating neighbourhoods will remain vulnerable to power outages resulting from natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires or floods. And all of these are likely to become increasingly common due to the effects of climate change. ...
Carbon-capture tree plantations threaten tropical biodiversity for little gain, ecologists say
2023-10-03
The increasingly urgent climate crisis has led to a boom in commercial tree plantations in an attempt to offset excess carbon emissions. However, authors of a peer-reviewed opinion paper publishing October 3 in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution argue that these carbon-offset plantations might come with costs for biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Instead, the authors say we should prioritize conserving and restoring intact ecosystems.
“Despite the broad range of ecosystem functions and services provided ...
Can science take the STING out of runaway inflammation?
2023-10-03
CINCINNATI—Until the COVID-19 pandemic exploded, few people outside of research labs and intensive care units had heard of a cytokine storm. But once this dangerous form of infection-triggered runaway inflammation started claiming lives by the thousands, a legion of scientists jumped into the hunt for ways to calm these storms.
Now, a study led by immunobiology experts at Cincinnati Children’s, offers important new details on how two elements of our body’s immune system clash with each other to prompt a chain of reactions that can release deadly floods of cell-killing, organ-damaging ...
