Six Indian-Americans are among 35 young scientists who will be honored by the prestigious Technology Review journal of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for innovations and research that are found to be "most promising and exciting".
The Indian-Americans chosen for the award are: Prithwish Basu of BBN Technologies, Ram Krishnamurthy of Intel, Ashok Maliakal of Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories, Anand Raghunathan of NEC Laboratories America, Jay Shendure of Harvard Medical School and Sumeet Singh of Cisco Systems Inc.
Indian-Americans comprise just under one per cent of the country's population, but their contribution to innovative technology is 12-17 per cent, according to the Technology Review (TR) magazine.
For six years now, the editors of TR have honored innovators under the age of 35 whose inventions and research are found to be "most promising and exciting."
