    Prof. Chen is striving to introduce affordable energy solutions for rural communities in Africa, which are often overlooked by international development efforts due to lack of advocate. This work also provided a service-learning platform, on which the Purdue students witness the societal change introduced by their engineering solutions. He led several field trips to Africa with students in Global Design Teams of Purdue Global Engineering Program and Partnerships (GEPP).
