On this page you can find information about the 9  core team members of the dut12, they are responsible for the project management.

Hello, I am Max Wink, 20 years old and a third year applied physics student.

Last year, I was the financial manager of the DUT Racing team. This actually means that I was reponsible for documenting every thing and controlling the money flow in the DUT Racing team. This year, I decided to pause my study at the university and become the Team Manager. The team manager is the chairperson of the core team and the person responsible for the team itself. This means, that I have to make sure that everyone functions properly in the team and keep an overview of the project.
My personal goal is to make this year a team that can be an example for the following teams. A team that everyone can be proud off and that adds a lot to the history of DUT Racing project!

My name is Robert Crone, this year I will be the technical manager of the DUT Racing team. I’m 23 years old and a fourth year Aerospace engineering student. As technical manager I will be responsible for time management and making sure the team keeps to our schedule. I also have to make sure that the car is finished on time.

I am very excited about this upcoming year and i will fully commit myself to the project !

Hello, I am Lukas Kramer, 21 years old and a fourth year mechanical engineering student. Last year, it was my first year in the team. I was partly responsible for the design of the innerwheels which are a part of the suspension. I was so enthousiastic about the team, that I and a couple of my friends designed an electronic differential for our bachelor thesis. This electronic differential controlled the two electric motors of the DUT 11 and they were also one of the things that made the car go even faster.

This year I am the Chief Suspension and responsible for the design of the suspension, steering system, brake system and the dynamics of the car. The suspension allows the car to reach the highest possible acceleration, and allow the driver to drive as fast as possible.

This year I decided to work full time on the car, because it is so much fun to design, build and test an electric race car together with a team full of enthusiastic students.
Not only technical knowledge is involved, but also the management of such a large project. So I hope to gain as much as possible experience in management and the technical aspect during this year, and of course to have a blast with the team.

Hello, my name is Jonas D’haen and this year I will be the Chief Chassis. I am a fourth year aerospace engineering student. This year will be my first year at the DUT Racing team. As the chief of the chassis department I am responsible for the design and production of the largest part of the car, the monocoque. My personal goal this year is to innovate and to ensure continuity within the chassis department.

I am really looking forward to this year and cannot wait to see the final design of the monocoque!

Chief Powertrain: Gihin Mok

Hello, my name is Gihin Mok and I am 22 years old. Last year, I obtained my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering. This upcoming year I will fulfil the function of Chief Powertrain, this means that I am responsible for the batteries, cooling and the motor controllers.

I decided to postpone my masters for a year for DUT Racing, because this is a huge challenge where I can develop my technical and management skills. Furthermore, this is an unique chance. How often can you say, that you have built an electric car? This year will be my first year in the team, I will try to compensate my limited experience by approaching problems in a smart and innovative way. Together with my ten fellow powertrain engineers, we will aim to produce a powertrain system that is as good as possible; lightweight, efficient and reliable!

Hello, My name is Hugo van der Wijst, 21 years old and a fourth year computer science student.
The past two years, I have spent most of time designing the software in the cars: I worked on the data-acquisition for the DUT 10 and at the motor control for the DUT 11.

As Chief Electronics I am responsible for the low-voltage electronics in the car. This is all the electronics that are not directly related to the engines. Consider the control of the vehicle, to obtain information about the car through sensors and providing feedback to the driver.

This year, I want to gain experience in managing a large system. I also want to ensure that the electronics are finished on time, as we have failed at this in recent years.

Hello, I am Richard Kruithof, 21 years old and a fourth year Aerospace student. This is my second year at the dut racing team. Last year I was a chassis engineer where I designed a monocoque by a finite element analysis.

I decided to join the team for a second year to gain experience on project management. As the chief engineer I am responsible for the technical design and quality of the car. I hope my knowledge from last year can be used to improve the car.

Operations Manager: Jim Rojer

Hello, I am Jim Rojer, 19 years old and a second year Aerospace engineering student. This year I will be the operations manager, this means that I will be responsible for the sponsoring, media and event planning this year. This is my first year at the dut racing team. Although I only have little experience in the team I think a new approach at the operations department will improve the results of the team.

I choose to be the operations manager because I think it is a huge challenge with many possibilities. This will be an exciting year and cannot wait to see the dut12 drive at the Formula Student events.

Drive train: Paul Ouwehand

Hello, my name Paul Ouwehand, 22 years old and after I finished my bachelor mechanical engineering, I started my master aerospace engineering last year. This will be my third year at the team. Two years ago I worked as a powertrain engineer on the combustion engine and the test bench. Last year I designed the transmission with a fellow student, and did a lot of production work.
