MassLive’s “Most Influential Innovators” list, which celebrates inventors from across the Commonwealth, spotlights numerous MIT community members including President Sally Kornbluth; Prof. Russ Tedrake; Visiting Scientist Brandon Sorbom PhD ‘17, co-founder of Commonwealth Fusion Systems; Visiting Scholar Ariel Ekblaw PhD ‘20, CEO of Aurelia Institute; Maxim Lobovsky MS ‘11, CEO of Formlabs; Noubar Afeyan PhD ‘87, CEO of Flagship Pioneering; and Andy Ory, CEO of MIT spinout QuEra Computing. “Kornbluth has been working hard to defend the university, which has long been a major economic engine not just for Massachusetts, but for the country,” writes reporter Scott Kirsner.
