Theodore "Ted" Caplow (born 1969) is an American social entrepreneur, environmental engineer, and inventor. He is a pioneer in the field of building-integrated agriculture, having designed and developed the Science Barge urban farm prototype and patented the Vertically Integrated Greenhouse. As an academic, Caplow has published many reports and received awards for his work regarding sustainability and environmental engineering. For example, he was featured in a New York Times Op-Ed discussing the environmental impact of a large public art installation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seeing Orange )〕 Caplow has founded four companies in the area of applied science and sustainable technology: NY Sun Works (2004), BrightFarms (2008), Fish Navy Films (2010), and CappSci (2014). He currently works as the CEO at CappSci and maintains a board presence at all of his companies. == Early Life and Education == Ted Caplow was born Theodore Caplow, Jr. in New York City in 1969 to Anne Christine Allen and Theodore Caplow. His father, also known as Ted Caplow, is a well-known American sociologist and author of over 20 books in the social sciences.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Works authored by Theodore Caplow )〕 Caplow grew up in central Virginia and attended boarding school in Massachusetts, where he was fascinated by the advent of the personal computer. He entered Harvard University intending to major in physics but graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 1992. Following college, Caplow, together with his father and other family members, sailed a 47 foot boat from New York City to Cyprus, further stimulating his interest in nature, science, and engineering. He received an M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1998 from Princeton University, where his interest in renewable energy was fostered by Robert H. Socolow and Daniel Kammen and where he received a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship. Caplow’s thesis at Princeton was an extended design modeling and optimization project for a solar thermal “power tower” that explored the feasibility of employing gas turbines in these designs. Caplow completed his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering in 2004 at Columbia University, where he was influenced by Peter Schlosser, Vijay Modi, Klaus Lackner, and Upmanu Lall, among others. Caplow’s dissertation concerned the hydrodynamics of contaminant transport in the Hudson River Estuary and his scholarly work in this field has appeared in Environmental Science & Technology,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transport Dynamics in a Sheltered Estuary and Connecting Tidal Straits: SF6 Tracer Study in New York Harbor.
