Sponsored by the MIT Climate Project, "Conversations with Visionaries" is a career-focused series for MIT students. Pioneers and leaders in energy and climate fields share their personal journeys to help students chart their own paths to meaningful and impactful careers.

 

This student career discussion, open to MIT students, will be lead by Dr. Christopher Borroni-Bird .

 

Dr. Borroni-Bird is a visionary in sustainable mobility whose work bridges deep technical rigor, social impact, and bold design thinking. In his current role as founder of AfreecarLLC, Borroni-Bird is driving a mission to deliver sustainable, low-cost mobility and distributed power to under-served communities worldwide. His newly published Sustainable and Affordable Mobility for Alloffers a compelling narrative and technical roadmap for a future in which personal mobility, energy access, and climate justice converge.

 

Refreshments will be served.
