Andlinger Center Summer Internships The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment awarded 20 undergraduates research funds to support research on energy- and environment-related projects on campus and at organizations in the government and nonprofit sectors. The research is supported by the Peter B. Lewis Fund for Student Innovation in Energy and the Environment, the Dede T. Bartlett P03 Fund for Student Research in Energy and the Environment, and the Sustainability Fund. The students’ projects, which were conducted remotely this year, are described below:
