Linh Manh Le

Linh is a recent alumnus of Yale College studying Chemical Engineering and Global Affairs, and also a member of the Energy Studies Program. Hailing from the tropical metropolis of Hanoi, Vietnam, he became interested in the energy landscape, particularly frontier technologies for use optimization, its geopolitics, and accessibility issues within the country and Southeast Asia.

At Yale, Linh's main focus spanned techno-economic analysis of water treatment technologies, polymer architecture fit for plastic upcycling, and market readiness of cutting-edge energy innovations. Besides contributing to the Clean Energy Finance Forum, Linh was also involved with the Yale International Relations Association as a former Board of Directors member, danced along his favorite K-Pop songs with Yale Movement, and worked for Project Bright’s outreach initiatives. After graduation, Linh spent two wonderful years in sunny California scaling CO2 conversion technologies with Prometheus Fuels before joining the Ph.D. program in Applied Physics at Harvard, where he currently hopes to investigate the wide-ranging applications of electrochemistry in sustainable chemical engineering.
