Having finished my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at the TU Delft, I am very excited to start a new challenge as Chief Fuel Cell & Powertrain at Forze Hydrogen Racing. This role allows me to combine my passion for engineering and sustainability, while simultaneously contributing to the development of the Forze IX.

Within the team, I act as the bridge between high-level management decisions and detailed engineering work in our department. By doing so, I gain hands-on engineering experience while also developing leadership, planning and organizational skills. My goal is to succesfully get the F9 on the racetrack, and show our ICE-powered competitors the power of hydrogen technology.

What excites me most about this role is the chance to work with and promote hydrogen technology, which I see as a critical component in the energy transition. Working alongside a team of highly motivated students, all driven by their passion for engineering, sustainability, and motorsport, makes this experience truly unique and incredibly rewarding.
