Singapore: MIT’s Technology Review and CyberMedia announces 2012 TR35@Singapore, its first annual list of outstanding men and women under the age of 35 who exemplify the spirit of innovation in business and technology in South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
This year’s winners have created innovations over a wide variety of fields, including energy, biomedicine, communications, information technology, transportation, and the Web. Their groundbreaking work is in light therapy devices, neuro-inspired reconfigurable analog integrated circuits, macroscopic optical cloak, optical set-up to generate a traction laser, high-performance electrodes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, advancing electron-beam lithography, DNA vaccine purification technology, paper diagnostic for blood typing, robots for exploration of harsh environments, interactive tools to create 3D content simply by sketching, a novel platform that can simultaneously target diseased cells, enable the location to be imaged by optical methods, and release therapeutic drugs to the diseased cells by external commands; and tools to engineer and manipulate cell fates for potential use in regenerative medicine. In short, the 2012 TR35@Singapore are transforming technology and tackling problems in a way that is likely to benefit society and business.
The complete 2012 TR35 list includes individuals from such well-known organizations and institutions as A*STAR, Monash University, McGill University, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, and Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology. “Discovering the amazing young men and women who make up the TR35 is one of the highlights of the year for us,” said Jason Pontin, editor in chief and publisher of Technology Review. “They inspire and expand our sense of what is possible. We honor them for their current work and look forward to their future accomplishments,” said Abraham Mathew, Chief Editor, CyberMedia.
The 2012 TR35@Singapore were selected from more than 200 submissions by the editors of Technology Review in collaboration with a prestigious panel of judges from leading organizations across India, Singapore, and Australia. Technology Review and Cyber Media honored the winners in a series of “Meet the TR35” presentations and a dedicated awards ceremony and reception.
