MIT Technology Review's Young Investigators (TR35) for 2009

MIT Technology Review has released its list of 35 investigators under 35 for 2009. Among the list is a very familiar name: Ellis Meng, a Lloydie from the class of 1997. Congrats!

Another familiar name is a Santa Fe Institute postdoc (Nathan Eagle), who I have either met or seen speak. (I don't remember whether I talked to him.) He's one of the people doing interesting things with mobile phone data.

    Congrats Ellis!
    Looking through all of the years of Young Investigators, the only other names I recognized were from '99:
    Hideo Mabuchi
    Maja Mataric
    Linus Torvalds

    I think some other Techers have gotten this in recent years. (Chari? I can't remember his first name right now. He was either a Darb or a Scurve.) Anyway, it is seriously impressive.

    Serge Belongie and Vance Bjorn from my class '95 in Ruddock made the 2004 list.

    If I ever met them, it was probably only during Rotation. The names are definitely not familiar.
