Awards and accolades[edit]

Voss has received some recognition in the press and awards for his work. In 2013, the German magazine Der Spiegel published a 5-page profile on Voss at 18 years old.[6] At age 19, Voss was named one of the 15 most impressive students at Stanford and listed as the youngest member of Business Insider's 40 Under 40: People To Watch In 2015.[7][8]

In 2014, Voss' Autism Glass invention was featured in the novel Trueman Bradley - The Next Great Detective, which is the second installment of the Trueman Bradley series, by Alexei Maxim Russell. In the book, Trueman Bradley, an Autistic private detective, uses Voss' invention to "see" emotions and so improve his detective skills.[9][10][11][12]

In 2016, Voss received the Lemelson-MIT Graduate Student prize.[13]
