Senior biochemistry major Albash Khan was part of the team that invented ThermaChill, which came in 3rd place at this year’s College of Science Catalyst Competition. The third-place position comes with a $500 prize.
ThermaChill is a self-heating and cooling lunchbox, highlighting the student’s innovation and entrepreneurship for creativity and sustainability. The ThermaChill team also included senior financial management major Karthik Beeraka, junior biochemistry major Maxwell BeGole and junior physics and computer science major Eli Skoglund.
