From a young age, I have always had an interest in motorsport, and the technology involved in it. Inspired by the student teams active in Delft, I decided to join the Aerospace Engineering program of the TU Delft. Here, I was able to get a better grasp of the opportunities of the many sustainable technologies that can be applied to high-performance applications such as the motorsport industry. This also further inspired me to join Forze for a year.

My position here at Forze has given me the opportunity to have a great learning experience, all while combining my passion for racing and future-proof technology. Together with an great group of team-members, this provides for an amazing work environment where we can work towards innovating and optimizing technological options that find applications in practical scenario's, such as the energy and automotive sectors.

At Simulation & Control, we are responsible for a wide variety of tasks that, together, form the basis of creating and testing our systems as a whole package. From our base task of designing and maintaining control systems, to testing and integrating new components of our embedded and fuel cell systems into the car. This allows us to get a good grasp of the working processes in the F9, which helps us to perform tests and get the car to its most optimal performance. Next to being an amazing learning possibility on the many different topics associated with building a hydrogen race car, this also provides us with the opportunity to work directly with the car, from dyno to track tests.
