Meet The Team

Gina oversees and leads subsystem functions: Mechanical, Electrical, Battery and Operations. She is the driving force behind DalSol and makes sure that our solar car NOVA is technically developed, and the team is on track to becoming race-ready for FSGP 2023!

Michelle manages the team’s finances, sourcing, recruitment, funding applications, to name a few. She also serves administrative- and DSU- related tasks, such as ratification and record keeping.

Owen does everything related to batteries on DalSol. This includes measuring their parameters, designing the pack, and collaborating with others working on the main power bus. Most recently, he worked on battery cycling as part of battery characterization test.

Berk has worked on roll cage, the braking system, and steering wheel. He has contributed to the development of the battery enclosure and most recently, is working on configuring the solar array.

Kate wears many hats on the team! Her main responsibility is to organize fundraising activities such as bake sales and pancake sales, but she has also wired the solar cells and helped with battery tests. She interacts with the sponsors and the media, too.

August keeps the community informed about everything happening on the team through our social media platforms. Whether this is about the work that we do in the shop or updates on milestones, she makes sure that the word is out there! She also helps with sponsorship outreach and promoting solar car events.

Noah develops and maintains a variety of motor and motor controller operations. This includes but is not limited to high voltage and basic wiring of controls, static and dynamic testing of the motor and regenerative braking. Currently, he focuses on setting the controller parameters up to run the motor smoothly.

Arshvir works closely with our battery management system (BMS) and configures the CAN network for compatibility with our battery pack. He currently helps with FEA simulations and works closely with our battery lead to ensure that that the battery pack is monitored and protected.

Jacob is responsible for designing, managing, and maintaining the web presence. He works with the team to make sure that the DalSol website and all information on it is up to date and  easily accessible.
