As a mechanical engineering student and long-time motorsport fan I'm especially fascinated by the design process and engineering behind high-performance vehicles. This passion, combined with the exciting idea of students pushing the limits of innovation for a more sustainable future of racing is why I joined Forze.

As the powertrain engineer I am responsible for all the high voltage systems within the Forze IX. Since our powertrain interacts with so many different components it's a very dynamic position and I get to work together with various departments, from improvements to our cooling systems with Fuel Cell to optimizing regen strategy with Simulation & Control.

What I enjoy most about being a part of Forze is working alongside other passionate students and working towards a shared goal together. Beyond this it is incredibly rewarding to be working hands on on such an ambitious project, gaining valuable experience that cannot be found within the traditional university curriculum. Gaining insight into the motorsport world while in university is such a unique opportunity that I value greatly.
