Former MAE Graduate Student, Yong Lin Kong, Honored

Yong Lin Kong was recognized as an Innovator Under 35 Honouree for the Southeast Asia region by MIT Technology Review.

The 10 outstanding innovators in the region have been chosen. These young innovators are trailblazers in their fields and are leading the next generation of technological breakthroughs. They automatically become candidates and potential finalists for the global Innovators Under 35 list celebrated in the fall of 2017 in Boston. MIT Technology Review will showcase the global winners in the September/October issue and online. The 10 honourees will each present a three-minute elevator pitch at EmTech Asia on 14-15 February 2017.

Yong is currently a postdoc at MIT. In MAE he was co-advised by Michael McAlpine and Howard Stone.
