Sumreen
Program: Mechatronic Systems Engineering
Sumreen Rattan co-founded Moment Energy while she was studying at 間眅埶AV. Her team is transforming the Canadian cleantech landscape by repurposing electric vehicle (EV) batteries into energy storage systems that can store sustainable power, such as solar and wind. Moment Energy is the only Canadian company that works directly with major automotive companies, like Mercedes, to repurpose old EV batteries. This is central to their core mission of accelerating the worlds transition to renewable energy. You can have a positive impact on the environment and a successful business. You dont have to sacrifice one for the other, says Rattan. Rattan continues to make her mark as a woman in STEM. Just last year Rattan was accepted into the RBC Women in Cleantech Accelerator and was recognized as one of 20 emerging leaders selected by Clean50.
Arvin
Program: Engineering Science
Arvin Amini is currently working at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a leader in the microchip industry, as a Silicon Design Engineer. Eventually, he plans to start his own biomedical company to make an impact in the healthcare industry. Amini found opportunities to help his peers learn new skills and provide STEM education to young students by starting 間眅埶AV Robot Soccer. In his role, he led the group through the development of multiple prototypes and built a complete team of functioning robots. It was his work with the club that helped secure him a co-op position with Tesla. 間眅埶AVs biomedical engineering program was the perfect start for Amini to achieve his goals of learning new skills to better society and make the world become a more accessible place.
