Landon Young
M.S. ESE, Purdue University; Current NSF Fellow
Co-Founder and CEO of World Help Solutions
Director of Creativity and Innovation of William Jewell College
At World Help Solutions, we believe
that solutions must be local to be sustained long-term. World Help Solutions provides interactive mobile platforms that connect educational information (ex. clean water) remotely to impoverished communities, empowering locals, including women and youth, to
solve clean water and agriculture problems. The app uses customizable decision-making software to give indigenous people the power to improve their own environment, such as improving clean water choices, medical treatments, or agricultural productivity.
Landon Young is a recent MS graduate from ESE, a 2013 Kaufman Fellow, and is currently pursuing his PhD in ESE as an NSF Fellow while also serving as Director of Creativity and Innovation at William Jewell College. While at Purdue, Landon launched World Help Solutions, which he is now serving as CEO and using it as one tool in conducting his PhD research.
