ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM FELLOWSHIP - CLASS OF 2025
United Nations Academic Impact and MCN are proud to partner on the Millennium Fellowship. This year, 60,000+ young leaders applied to join the Class of 2025 on 7,000+ campuses across 170 nations. 290+ campuses worldwide (less than 5%) were selected to host the 4,500+ Millennium Fellows.
UNITED NATIONS ACADEMIC IMPACT AND MCN PROUDLY PRESENT CHARLES HENRY ANDERSON, A MILLENNIUM FELLOW FOR THE CLASS OF 2025.
Georgia Institute of Technology | Georgia, United States | Advancing SDG 3 & UNAI 3
" “I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it’s a chance to take engineering out of the lab and into communities, ensuring that the technologies I create directly address real-world needs in low-resource settings.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Evapinator, Solving the Last Mile Problem for Diagnostic Testing
The Evapinator is a device I am building to solve the issue of sample transport for diagnostic testing in Low resource settings. You draw blood at a point of care site, place it into the Evapinator, and then push a button. Out comes a sample that is stable at RT and can be transported without a cold chain transport system. Costs less then a $100 to build, fits in a backpack, runs off a battery pack and can dry samples in an hour.
About the Millennium Fellow
Charles Anderson is an Electrical Engineer with a concentration in bioengineering and devices, passionate about creating frugal technologies for low-resource communities. He is developing the Evapinator, a portable device that preserves biological samples at the point of care without a vacuum or cold chain, bringing research innovations beyond the lab and into real-world settings. A recipient of the prestigious Astronaut Scholarship, he is committed to advancing accessible, high-impact engineering solutions worldwide.
