Stefan Roest (23) is a fifth year Maritime Engineering student. After building experience within various commissions and jobs, Stefan is ready to lead and support the new Nuon Solar Team. It is of importance that each team member makes progress within their respective disciplines. The Team Leader should be able to communicate within many different contexts and his most important duties include sponsorship proposals, the organization of the various activities of the team, and the streamlining of all information. The success of the new Nuna Team rests upon the team members and their performance, and it speaks for itself that among �the sponsors, partners, and third parties the team will have quite some shoes to fill to continue the successful history.

Tine Lavrysen (21) is a Belgian national and was planning on starting her Master�s degree in Integrated Product Design at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering until the new Nuna project came along. With her inherent creativity she will manage the public relations of the team. Furthermore, Tine will coordinate the various events that the Nuna Team will participate in throughout the coming year. Together with Joep, Tine will also investigate the various ergonomic aspects of the interior of the new Nuna design including the all-important seat, displays, and other points of importance to the driver. What motivated her to apply for the Nuna team was the multidisciplinary aspect of the team, and the challenge of helping to produce a design that will become reality.

Demain de Ruijter (20) is a fourth year student has completed his bachelor�s degree in Aerospace Engineering. Having worked with the TU Delft�s Formula Student racing team (DUTRacing), Demain�s expertise with different software packages will form a valuable contribution to the team. Having designed several suspension components for the DUTRacing team, he will have a similar role in the Nuna 4 team. As chief engineer he will supervise the development of the components of the vehicle and will determine whether further development is needed. Demain gladly sets aside his studies for a year to participate in producing a transport medium as effici�nt and sustainable as possible. �

Ivo Hagemans (23) is a fifth year student at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. His roots lie in the beautiful carribean island of Curacao. Ivo is a definite car guy, who has drawn much practical experience from literally burning rubber with his own vehicle. Within his studies Ivo has gained much experience with composite structures and is therefore fullfilling the role of overseeing the production of the new Nuna. Ivo will also be kept quite busy with the logsitics surrounding the stay in Australia. Ivo sees the Nuna team as an extension of his passion for cars, his studies, and his future ambitions.

Joep Steenbeek (24) is a fifth year veteran of the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering and represents the creative genius behind the team. The design of business cards, the website, posters, and other material will all be his productions. Joep�s creative hand also plays a key role during brainstorming sessions and preliminary drawings, but as the vehicle further evolves he will also become jointly responsible with Ivo for the production of the vehicle. Joep will also find a role within the team as a partner with Tine investigating the ergonomics of the design. Joep has been interested since the successes of the first Nuna iterations started, and combined with several years of study experience is ready to participate in this newest challenge.

Susan Luijten (23) has been studying at the Aerospace Faculty for five years. As a enthusiastic supporter of Formula 1, she finds a similar enthusiasm for the Nuna 4 project. Together with Oliver, she will investigate the aerodynamics of the new vehicle. The aerodynamics form one of the most important strategic factors in the vehicle�s design and is a significant contributant to previous wins. The aerodynamics will without a doubt be one of the most complicated portions of the vehicle�s design. Susan is by far the most ambitious athlete of the team and can always be contacted to arrange something. The new regulations and the technical challenge of the design formed her largest motivation to join the team.

Oliver van der Meer (21) is a fourth year student of the Aerospace Faculty. Born in Venezuela, and having come from the U.S. prior to starting his studies in Delft, Oliver sees the basic constraints on the team as "funding and physics". In his current role he is able to attack both impediments. Together with Susan he will work on the all too crucial aerodynamics of the vehicle and is in charge of all the finances of the team. He will join in attracting new sponsors and since his English is generally better than his Dutch he will also assist in communication when abroad. Oliver sees this as a worthy challenge, pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation yet farther, and is a proud team participant.

Paul Beckers (23) is nearing completion in his studies at Electrical Engineering and has completed his Bachelors�s thesis work on the solar panels for the Delfi-C3 satellite. After his Bachelor Degree of Engineering he began work on his Master�s degree in Microelectronics at the TU Delft. Paul is an well-rounded electrician and very handy with computers and networks. Paul�s talents will be employed in the telemery and the associated electronics and will similarly be a contribution to the strategy of the team. Paul sees this as a chance to employ his studies and help produce a solar vehicle that is capable of handling daily use like a conventional consumer vehicle.

Vincent de Geus (21) is a fourth year Electrical Engineering Student and has begun his Master�s degree at Systems and Control. Within the team he will work on the sensors and actuators of the new vehicle. These systems can be found in nearly all large electronic components of vehicle and will supply valuable information to the aide in the race strategy. Vincent will work closely with Paul and will be in charge of the website. Working in a practical application is Vincent�s passion, and he sees this as an exciting way to expand upon his studies.

Rabih Al Zaher (25) is a Lebanese national and has been in the Netherlands since 2001. He has completed his Bachelor�s degree of Mechanical Engineering and has begun his Master�s degree in Biomedical Engineering. Rabih is a very busy student and as an odd job he enjoys working on large maritime diesel engines. Rabih is a leader of the salsa dancing association of the TU Delft. For the new Nuna vehicle Rabih will design the suspension components, key components of the chassis, and the roll cage together with Hjalmer. After the design phase, Rabih will build several components himself. Rabih was keen to join the Nuna team because it is unique and represents a collaboration between various students with a very diverse set of backgrounds.

Hjalmar Van Raemdonck (23) is the other friendly Belgian on the team. Hjalmar is a fifth year Aerospace Engineering student and has begun his Master�s degree at the Design and Production of Composite Structures. Within the team he will work on chassis design and play a key role in material selection of the vehicle. The chassis computations will be aided by the Finite Element Method, which will yield valuable information on how material should be dispersed within the body�s structure. The changes in the regulations for the World Solar Challenge formed the largest motivation to join the team. He is excited to apply the knowledge he has aquired and put it into practice.
