Winner: Miles Barr, Ph.D. Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT. Awarded the student prize for his innovation in solar cell technology. He recognized the high cost attached with fabricating and installing solar cells and responded by using a process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to fabricate organic photovoltaics. As a result, Barr was able to fabricate solar cells directly onto everyday surfaces such as paper and textiles.&nbsp;<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(Barr is now the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">CEO at Ubiquitous Energy, Inc.</span></span>[https://www.linkedin.com/in/miles-barr-10401765/ <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">His Linkedin can be found here</span></span>]<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">)</span></span>

Winner: Alice A. Chen, Graduate student at Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. A self described artist, Chen never considered herself an engineer or believed she would invent anything. She was recognized for her groundbreaking work on creating a humanized mouse with tissue engineered human liver. Her invention has given scientists a tool in better understanding the human liver's response to drugs and infectious disease.&nbsp;<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(Chen is currently Director of Product Management, Reproductive Health. </span>[https://www.linkedin.com/in/aliceannchen/ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Her LinkedIn can be found here.</span>]<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">)</span>
Founded in 1992 by the inventor Jerome Lemelson and his wife Dorthy, the Lemelson Prize has been helping fund young innovators for over 20 years. Due to the success of the program and its resolute pursuit of encouraging youth to dream big in order to solve big, the prize has begun to expand outside of Cambridge. Universities may apply to host the prize at their school and showcase some of their brightest inventors.&nbsp;
