education in energy and the environment
Training the next generation of leaders in energy and environmental issues is a key goal of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Students can enroll in Andlinger Center courses (course code ENE) on topics including sustainable design, biofuels, solar energy, geoengineering, and more. Students also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to practice in laboratory courses through the design of sustainable building system components, such as temperature sensors, and the fabrication and testing of batteries.

Andlinger Center celebrates 18 seniors, awards thesis prize for work on microplastics
The Andlinger Center celebrated 18 graduating seniors at its Class Day ceremony on May 27. The group of students included 17 seniors who received a certificate from the Program in Sustainable Energy and one student who received a certificate from the Program in Technology and Society: Energy Track.
Vinay Konuru: Uniting the next generation of energy leaders
After a coast-to-coast bike trip ended in an accident near Death Valley National Park, Vinay Konuru found himself with a broken collarbone and an unexpected amount of free time. Recuperating at his home in Florida in the summer before his sophomore year at Princeton, Konuru picked up every book he could get his hands on. One book, The Grid by Gretchen Bakke, would change his trajectory as a student.
New Light: Summer Seminar Series
The New Light summer seminar series features the Andlinger Center’s Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows and early career researchers. There will be three sessions featuring two researchers each: June 24, July 10, and July 16th. Registration is now open.
