Master of Science and Engineering- Mechanical Engineering
To me, HUST is the ultimate place to fully immerse myself in engineering, collaborate, and put theoretical knowledge into practice. After working as an Aerodynamics Engineer, I’m thrilled to take on the role as Team Manager for this team.
I'm exited to learn about project management throught HUST. Having already bonded with the team, I know how talented everyone is. My goal as Team Manager is to guide our direction, provide structure, and support the sub-teams so we can build the best car possible.
What I love most about HUST is the shared energy and ambition within the group. I am beyond excited for us to head to Australia, tackle the challenge together, and reach our goal of completing all 3,000 km.

There’s no part of my education that has contributed more to my future than HUST. Being part of the project has given me an incredible number of friends, valuable knowledge, and practical experience in the electrical field. Joining the project has been the best decision I’ve made during my time at the university, considering the huge leap in competence it has given me.
As the Technical Manager, I am responsible for guiding the overall technical direction of the project and ensuring that all systems integrate smoothly. Moving from low-voltage engineering into this broader role has allowed me to build on my technical foundation while taking on greater responsibility across disciplines. Leading coordination between subteams has given me valuable experience in decision-making, system understanding, and supporting the team in delivering a cohesive and reliable vehicle.
The project has given me more than I could ever have imagined. I hoped to learn a lot and meet established engineers in my field — and I did. I hoped to have a great time building a car and competing — and I did. What I didn’t expect was the friendships I made that will last a lifetime. Hopefully, these friends will one day become colleagues so we can continue working on great projects and having a great time together.

Before joining the Halmstad University Solar Team, I never imagined what I was about to become a part of. What started as a simple decision turned into an unforgettable journey filled with experiences, growth, and friendships that now feel like a second family.
As a former Team Manager and now Senior Advisor, I support the new Team Manager with guidance, structure, and continuity. This role allows me to stay closely involved while helping the team evolve and move forward together. Growing up, I was never particularly interested in engineering. Through my studies and my time in HUST, however, a completely new world has opened up - one filled with challenges I now love to tackle and opportunities that continue to shape my future in ways I never expected.
The best part about HUST is the people. The shared passion, ambition, and support within the team make it truly unique and something I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of. I have never once regretted joining HUST - and I would do it all over again without hesitation!

Senior Advisor
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Being part of HUST means joining a team driven by innovation, teamwork, and the challenge of developing a competitive solar car. It allows me to apply engineering skills in a real project and grow through hands-on problem-solving.
As a Senior Advisor, I support the team by providing technical guidance, long-term perspective, and feedback based on my previous experience as Technical Manager. The role allows me to contribute strategically without being involved in daily operations, helping the team navigate complex engineering decisions while fostering their independence. I enjoy being able to offer insights across disciplines and help strengthen the project’s technical development.
The best part of HUST is the strong team spirit and motivation shared by everyone involved. We learn from each other, push boundaries, and achieve things together that go far beyond what any course can offer.

I see HUST as an ideal platform to contribute with my experience and strategic perspective, while continuing to support the development of the team and its technical direction. In a Senior Advisor role, I can provide guidance across the electrical system, ensuring well-founded design decisions and helping the team translate theory into robust, real-world solutions.
What I value most about HUST is the opportunity to mentor and empower others, while being part of a project that demonstrates how renewable energy and engineering excellence can shape the future of sustainable transportation.
