 Hello! My name is Jesse Egan. I am originally from Maryland, but I now reside in Boulder, Colorado, within the United States, where I am currently a graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I will be an E4C fellow in 2021 with the pleasure of working towards advancing sustainable development goals, six clean water and sanitation, and seven affordable and clean energy. I am most excited about this fellowship because I think it is an incredible opportunity to connect with brilliant minds from all over the world. I am especially excited to learn from and share knowledge with my fellow fellows, as well as with the E4C staff and research partners. As an E4C fellow, I will be working with the US Environmental Protection Agency to identify sanitation solutions, specifically anaerobic digesters for cold weather and off-grid communities. I believe we are all part of a global community and therefore we each have a duty to uphold the well-being and dignity of one another and our planet. Through this fellowship, I hope to become a better engineer and I hope to learn. I hope to learn from others and I hope to contribute to improving access to wash solutions by accomplishing any and all tasks assigned to me throughout this fellowship.
