Star Tribune’s Richard Chin refers to Brian Krohn 鈥�08听 as a 鈥淢innesota Genius鈥� in his article. Among Krohn鈥檚 creations are surgery tools,听wizard 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, that鈥檚 when his interest in becoming a scientist began. His undergraduate research led him to 鈥淕ood Morning America鈥� where he talked about a process to produce environmentally-friendly fuel, which was later commercialized in the development of a $9 million pilot plant.
鈥淎 lot of times I get a little bug about something, I kind of just do things and see where they go,鈥� says Krohn about his ventures.
