Olivier Vercammen
Structural engineer
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by technology and cars, but during my engineering studies I missed out on some practical experience. That is why I have now found the ideal challenge at the Solar Team. Together with a group of motivated and creative engineering students, we will take on the challenge of producing a solar car. The goal of this project is to extend our world title in Australia 2023 during the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.
Due to my training as a mechanical engineer specializing in vehicle technology, a role in the mechanical department is right up my street. I have therefore been chosen to become a structural engineer within the team. Together with my teammates, I would like to develop an innovation that will make our solar car unbeatable.
