 My name is Lynn Lu. I'm a professor in the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department and the deputy director of the Anlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University. As a professor, my research interests lie in renewable energy. In particular, my group is interested in making plastic solar panels that convert sunlight into electrical energy. As the deputy director of the Anlinger Center, my mission is to connect Princeton faculty with the industrial and corporate world in order to bring forth solutions for today's energy and environmental challenges. The next generation of leaders will have to be connected, they will have to be bold, and they'll have to be worldly. Their decision-making process is going to be deeply influenced by the best the world has to offer, also by the worst the world has to offer. They will have to seek inspiration from the past, learn from the present, in order to shape the world in the future. Our next generation will be faced with an unavoidable triad of challenges, including a deteriorating environment, technical challenges associated with finding renewable and sustainable energy sources, as well as rising inequalities in economies, not only amongst nations, but also within individual nations. These challenges open up unique opportunities for growth and development, and we have to equip ourselves with unprecedented drive, determination, and creativity in order to overcome these challenges. This young global leader platform, I hope to meet and be connected with other fellows in other arenas who are striving to make a difference in this world. And perhaps together, as a group, we can make a bigger impact and make a bigger difference in the world we live in.
