Meet our Chief Engineer and Project Manager!
Hi, I’m Lucas. I’m a senior studying mechanical engineering and the current Chief Engineer for the team. I’m a vehicle dynamics nerd who loves data analysis, so you will probably find me writing simulations on Matlab or sifting through data on i2Pro. Off the track, I love photography, music, and biking. I’m excited for the continued development of our team into the next season!
Hey! My name is Katherine. I’m a senior in mechanical engineering who loves all things F1, especially if it’s Red Bull- or Max-related. When I’m not in shop, you can find me at the beach, the gym, or baking in the kitchen. I’m super excited to lead the team as project manager to get our best result yet!
