One of the best things about UBC Solar is the learning and personal growth opportunities it creates. From being neck-deep in energy calculations as the only First Year at FSGP 2024 to coordinating with other subteams to optimize our next car, the projects and people here have taught me a great deal - and I'm excited to keep it going as a Co-Lead for Simulation & Strategy.

I’m really excited to work on some really cool and interesting problems, from software engineering to data science to physics, as we work on making sure our solar cars perform to the best of their abilities!

What does Simulation & Strategy do?

What does
Vehicle
Dynamics do?

Simulation & Strategy designs and develops UBC Solar's driving strategy at competitions such as the American Solar Challenge and Formula Sun Grand Prix. Through a combination of computational physics, computer optimization, and data analysis, we optimize speeds, racing lines and more—with the ultimate goal of maximizing performance at competition. Projects include physics model research & development, test design and execution, data analysis, and development of our simulation and data processing tools
