About speaker:

Andreas Mershin is a Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms. He leads the "Label Free" research group demolishing boundaries between physics, biology and materials science. From inexpensive photosynthetic solar panels to quantum effects in biomolecules, and from cytoskeletal memory encoding and machine olfaction to bioenergy harvesting, his research and the technologies it spawns are used by industry and government, exhibited at the Boston Museum of Science and Designer's Open Exhibition, awarded consumer product awards and regularly covered by global media including CNN, BBC, NYT, Discovery Channel, Wired, New Scientist, Nature and Science.
Having won the TAMU Center for New Ventures Business Idea competition and advised several MIT100K teams, he co-founded the HBN Big Idea Competition for early stage startups, and is chief consultant at Rebel Minds -specializing in rapid lab to market transition.
He is the co-founder and Director of the international non-profit Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize (MFIP) a.k.a "Kid Nobel" open to anyone under 18 years old (www.moleclues.org) awarded annually at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm (home of the science Nobels). Winners are determined by a jury of eminent scientists including thirteen Nobel laureates. The MFIP is the world's first ever prize awarded for asking good questions.
He earned his MSci in Physics at Imperial College London and received his MS and PhD in Physics from Texas A&M University. He is a Scuba divemaster, a private pilot and sometimes teaches the "hard" freshman physics class at MIT.

About TEDx:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
