Jarred Zeman

Hunter Valley NSW

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical) and Science (Physics)

At school, Jarred would take things apart to see how they were made. He’d then think about how they could be improved, or used in other combinations to make a more effective product. Now an electrical engineering student, Jarred still takes things apart – it’s only the scale that has changed. Inspired by global innovators like Elon Musk, Jarred is excited by the future of electric vehicles. As part of his final year project, Jarred is focusing on improving the performance and efficiency of multilevel inverter technology. He hopes that these improvements can be utilised in the Hunter Valley Electric vehicle competition and by the NU Racing team. Jarred is dedicated to improving humanity through his innovation work, volunteering and other community initiatives.
