The University of New Hampshire's Whittemore School of Business and Economics has named Grammy winner Kevin Short the 2008 Entrepreneurial Venture Creation Person of the Year. Short developed technology that led to the university's first spinout, Chaoticom -- now called Groove Mobile -- which commercialized his chaotic compression technology. The technology uses advanced signal processing methods and a mathematical chaos theory to analyze audio, speech, video and image data. Short won a Grammy in 2007 for using that technology to restore the only live recording of folk singer Woody Guthrie in concert.

Short was presented the award last Saturday at an event of the school's business plan competition at the University of New Hampshire Manchester. Three finalist teams will compete for the $10,000 first-place prize in the final round of competition on May 14, in Durham.
