Our work on a novel evaporative cooling system based on our patented ceramic technology was recently featured in Fast Company. Over the summer we were able to install a prototype in Harvard’s HouseZero, gathering data and experience about the real world challenges of cooling with water in Boston’s humid and hot summers. The results look very promising!
Harvard University Graduate School of Design DDes candidate Katarina Richter-Lunn (MDes ’21) has been awarded the 2022 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, a merit-based graduate school program for 30 immigrants and children of immigrants. Chosen from a competitive pool of over 1,800 applicants, Richter-Lunn was selected for her potential to make significant contributions through her research and work in the United States. She will join 10 other Harvard affiliated students who are being honored in 2022 by the Soros organization—all of whom receive up to $90,000 to support graduate studies.
