Dancing room for you and applied problems in foreign fields

This is a place for matchmaking researchers with research ideas in applied sciences that have a sizeable impact on human condition.

Edit: let there be janitors.

What are the so-called adult problems in your field and who, in your opinion, is needed most to solve them?

Add reasons why you are not working on them yourself. (I, for example, am in a PhD program very remote from practical applications and might have a chance to do some research on useful stuff if I survive that long.)
