Eesha Khare (born 1995) is an American inventor and was a Young Scientist Award winner in the 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
Khare was born in Saratoga, California, to a hardware engineer and a biologist and attended Lynbrook High School in San José.
She went on to earn her SB in Bioengineering at Harvard (2017) and her Master's at University of Cambridge in the U.K.[1] As of 2021, Khare is a PhD student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
[1][2][3][4] In 2013, she was one of 1,600 competitors from 70 countries who submitted projects to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix.
[2][5][6] According to Bernd Schoene, although news about Khare's science fair invention immediately spread widely in the public and scientific media (including one peer-reviewed paper) saying it would enable a cell phone to be charged in seconds, such an achievement is not yet feasible and Khare's scientific advances, while significant, were exaggerated.
