Rafael Dygant

Rafael Dygant, born in Cologne in 2001, was fascinated by mobility and electrical engineering from an early age. His interest led him to spend a practical semester in 2021 at a company that develops quality control systems for combustion engines. There he gained his first insights into the industry and a deeper understanding of the technology. During a master’s project, he finally got to know the world of electromobility and discovered his fascination for PMSM motors. Since then, he has wanted to deepen his knowledge in this area and actively shape the future of mobility.
