Twenty-two out of the 35 “young innovators” singled out for praise in the new issue of Technology Review are at universities. In its September/October issue, the magazine honors 35 young people whose work “is changing our world” with inventions and research that the editors found “most exciting” in the fields of communications, computing, electronics, medicine, and nanotechnology, among others.

The innovators are students, fellows, postdocs, and junior professors. The institution with the most representatives on the list is the University of Washington, with three. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which publishes the magazine, has two, as does Harvard University and the University of California at Berkeley. Three European universities, in France, Germany, and Spain, are also represented.

One of the University of Washington’s young innovators also was named the “Humanitarian of the Year.” Tapan Parikh, a 33-year-old doctoral student in computer science, was recognized for creating information systems tailored to the needs of small-business people in the developing world — systems with cellphones, not PC’s, at their core. —Andrew Mytelka
