Technology Review Magazine's Top 35 Innovators Under 35 to Be Highlighted at MIT Museum Exhibit

Posted on: Tuesday, 6 September 2005, 09:01 CDT

Thirty-five young innovators under 35 years old who exemplify the spirit of contemporary innovation in technology, business and the arts will be highlighted at an exhibit presented in the MIT Museum's Emerging Technologies Gallery, Sept. 6 - Oct. 21, 2005. The group - known as the Technology Review 35 (TR35) - has been identified by Technology Review, MIT's magazine of innovation, as having the potential to profoundly impact the world.

The museum's exhibit lists all of the budding Edisons and features showcases three of MIT's most prominent innovators in an interactive display.

-- Saul Griffith, graduate of the MIT Media Lab and founder of

Squid Labs, and his microrobots, which can assemble themselves

into complex machinery.

-- Yael Maguire, graduate of the MIT Media Lab and co-founder of

ThingMagic, and his software-defined radio for RFID,

radio-frequency chips that help manufacturers and retailers

track inventory more quickly and accurately.

-- Samuel Madden, assistant professor in MIT's Electrical

Engineering & Computer Science Department, and his wireless

sensor networks that enable remote monitoring.

"The TR35 is among the most prestigious honors that can be bestowed on a young innovator," says Technology Review Editor in Chief Jason Pontin. "We hail their accomplishments and look forward to even more from them in the future."

The 2005 TR35 are from well-known corporations and institutions such as Cornell University, Harvard University, IBM, Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs, MIT, Stanford University, Sun Microsystems, University of Toronto and University of Wisconsin.

The honorees were selected by a prestigious panel of judges from organizations like Boston University, GE Global Research ,Georgia Tech, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, MIT, Northwestern University, Xerox and YankeeTek Ventures.

The complete TR 35 list will appear in the October 2005 issue of Technology Review magazine and on the Web at www.tretc.com.tr35.asp.

Innovator and Humanitarian of the Year

In addition to being selected to the TR35, two honorees have been chosen as Technology Review's Innovator of the Year and Technology Review's Humanitarian of the Year by the magazine's editors. They will be revealed at Technology Review's fifth annual Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT (TRETC), Sept. 28-29, on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Mass. The magazine's summit will focus on the technologies that are poised to make a dramatic impact on the world.

The conference will present a mix of keynote, panel and breakout discussions for top decision makers from the technology, management, and investment communities. Charlie Giancarlo, CTO of Cisco; Bill Joy, former Sun Microsystems chief scientist; Michael Moritz, of Sequoia Capital; and Motorola's CEO Ed Zander are among the speakers.
