Student Innovation Challenge: Kunal Shamdasani dreams of nonclogging toilet paper By on
By Annika Tomlin
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers hoarded toilet paper out of fear it would sell out. Now that it’s easily found, UA sophomore Kunal Shamdasani has a pitch to make a cost-effective nonclogging toilet paper.
One day in February, a freshman Shamdasani was walking to one of his campus jobs and saw a black-and-white flier on a vending machine about the Tech Launch Arizona Student Innovation Challenge. Students were asked to submit an idea that could eventually be commercialized.
Tech Launch Arizona is an organization at UA that helps bring technologies and innovations that originated with the university research a meaningful application that leads to commercialization.
