Notice the last line: "Used lab equipment at University of California Santa Cruz under the supervision of Dr. Yat Li".
Here's an article published in February of 2012 by authors including Dr. Yat Li of the University of California, Santa Cruz:
Title: Hydrogenated TiO2 Nanotube Arrays for Supercapacitors

You have to wonder if Dr Li didn't deserve the award.
Let's see how Dr. Li would look in future Intel PR videos:
So sorry, Dr. Li.
I thought this was a student competition? Using professionals is tantamount to “cheating”.... but hey... in this new world, that is A-O-K!
Well now we know where she got the lab.
