Speakers of the Event
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil Robin Vanhaelst
Prof. Robin Vanhaelst, the leader and coordinator of the master of engineering studies “Alternative Powertrains” for over a decade now, has been nominated as a professor for “Thermodynamics and Alternative Powertrains” at the Ostfalia, University of Applied Sciences in the Faculty of Vehicle Engineering since 2009. He completed his Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Free University of Brussels (V.U.B.) and bagged the award for the best engineering student of the academic year. He acquired a Doctoral degree in the Volkswagen research department in 2002 and has worked in various fields since then. He was a development engineer at the Audi AG development and Volkswagen AG development from 2002-2004 and 2004-2009, respectively. He became the international officer of the Faculty of Applied Sciences in 2015. With technology advancing swiftly, he believes a future with a better scope is not far. Besides the other titles, presently, he is the founding member and a board member of Centrum für Elektromobilität at the Ostfalia (CEMO).
In the webinar, Prof. Robin Vanhaelst will give valuable insights into the challenges and trends in e-mobility
