Star Tribune’s Richard Chin refers to Brian Krohn ā08Ģż as a āMinnesota Geniusā in his article. Among Krohnās creations are surgery tools,Ģżwizard staffs, a cycling workout app, and more recently, Soundly, a cell phone application designed to help people who snore by getting them to play a voice-activated game to strengthen their upper airway muscles.
While at Augsburg, Krohn switched majors from film to chemistry, thatās when his interest in becoming a scientist began. His undergraduate research led him to āGood Morning Americaā where he talked about a process to produce environmentally-friendly fuel, which was later commercialized in the development of a $9 million pilot plant.
āA lot of times I get a little bug about something, I kind of just do things and see where they go,ā says Krohn about his ventures.
