 Hello my name is Brandon Simons. I'm from Edmunds Washington in the United States and Busan, South Korea. I'll be an E4C fellow in 2021 advancing sustainable development goal 7, affordable and clean energy. I'm most excited about this fellowship because of the opportunity to join a cohort of certainly minded and passionate engineers to co-innovate and develop resilient and impactful solutions. As an E4C fellow, I'll be working with SolarBuddy with the design and engineering a cost-effective, modular and easy to assemble solution to provide lighting, device-driven capability, and cooking and cooling functionalities through solar energy. I want to apply my engineering skills for social good because I am passionate about global equal opportunity and as engineers we can have a pivotal role in developing these capacity building solutions. Through this fellowship I hope to design and prototype a resilient product concept that can be used by SolarBuddy and their appropriate partners to reduce energy poverty in various communities.
