Maarten Vansteenkiste
High voltage engineer
As a high voltage engineer, I am fascinated by innovations in solar energy, batteries, and electric motors. Now that the dream of being part of the Solar Team has become a reality, I see it as my mission to explore and apply these technologies for a more sustainable future. The global transition to electric transportation requires more environmentally friendly transport solutions, and I am proud to contribute to this effort.
Together with my team members, I am committed to optimizing the performance and efficiency of our solar car, with the goal of winning the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia. As a high voltage engineer, I strive to maximize the efficiency of our electric drivetrain, with a focus on improving the motor. Additionally, I am co-responsible for the solar panel and am seeking the best possible solar cells to maximize energy yield. By tackling these challenges, I hope to make a positive impact on the future of sustainable mobility.
