PRESIDENT

Zoe (she/her) is a Senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Mathematics. This year is her third with WFR, previously being the Frame sub-team lead. As president, Zoe works closely with the Vice President, Technical Director, sub-team leads, and College of Engineering to ensure everyone on the team has the necessary resources to succeed. This year, Zoe aims to build on last year's success by finishing endurance; passing technical inspection on the first try; better integrating components into the car; and increasing club funding through sponsorship. The future success of WFR is also very important to her, so she continues to focus on transferring knowledge to current and future WFR members.

DRIVETRAIN

Cynthia (she/her) is a Sophomore double majoring in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. This is her second year with the team. Cynthia’s goal is to build on last year's design by optimizing its stiffness, efficiency, and overall packaging to better accommodate the suspension geometry and overall vehicle integration. She also wants to establish thorough documentation throughout the season so future team members can more easily build on our work and continue improving the drivetrain year after year.

ELECTRICAL

Joey (he/him) is a Senior Electrical Engineering Major with a Minor in Mechanical Engineering. This will be his third year with the team. Joey’s goals for the team are to expand the vehicle's data acquisition by adding a wireless telemetry system, implementing paddle shifters, and creating many small projects around the car to get all members involved in designing and manufacturing circuits. In addition to formula SAE, he also enjoys riding motorcycles.

FRAME

Cole (he/him) is a Junior Materials Science and Engineering Major with Minors in Astronomy and Mathematics. This is his third year with the team, having been a part of the frame sub-team for the past two years. Joining WFR was one of the first things Cole did as a freshman, and it instantly connected him with a great team of friends but also support for his engineering degree. Cole loves frame because the sub-team gets to provide a framework for other sub-teams to work off of, so you do a lot of early collaboration and prediction of what will be best for the team, which is exactly why his teamwide goal this year is to design nothing in a vacuum. He says, “while it's a little daunting at first, it's rewarding to see the chassis come together before anything, and for every other team to utilize it. This team wouldn't be nearly as great if I didn't have great members and previous officers to collaborate and just have fun with”

SUSPENSION

Charles, better known as Charlie (he/him), is a Sophomore Chemical Engineering Major with a Minor in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics. This will be his second year on the team. Charlie’s goal for the sub-team is to create a legacy system geared towards an aero car that can be reused each year with upgrades instead of a newly designed suspension system each year. He says, “With a good base design down, we can work to optimize rather than redesign, which should allow us to improve year after year”. He also hopes to continue improving the team’s standing at comp!
