Hannah S. Lee
Columbia University

Hannah is a third-year student, studying earth and environmental engineering with a concentration in sustainable energy and development. Her research is in the sphere of carbon capture and storage, and she is looking at the potential of carbon sequestration in ocean sediments. She is working with Engineers Without Borders and on a technology exposition for engineering solutions for clean water and energy access. She would like to work on rural electrification in India and Africa and has her heart set on development projects. Backpacking and white water rafting, with great books and incredible friends, would be a perfect day.

How can you describe a weekend of student leaders from across the U.S. with an intense passion to change the world? The Orientation was a phenomenal experience to meet and build connections that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
