We are thrilled to introduce Mariel Davalos, a young leader and alum from the Student Energy Chapter at José Simeón Cañas Central American University (UCA) in El Salvador! Mariel was determined to be a part of the energy transition movement. She is interested to gain further technical knowledge in this field, given the challenges faced by the sector in her country. She quickly joined the Student Energy Chapter at UCA and was also selected for the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) Student Leaders Programme in the same year.

Her fellow member at the Student Energy Chapter at UCA spoke highly of Mariel’s passion and commitment:

“Mariel’s personality is amazing, hardworking, and committed, and soon after she officially joined the SE Chapter, where she quickly started contributing, and became a core member from day one.

Her enthusiasm and determination to spread energy and climate awareness led her to represent the Student Energy UCA Chapter this year at the National Youth Conference on Climate Change (LCOY 2022), and it was she who wrote the suggestions section for better regulation in laws/projects to improve the energy transition in El Salvador.”

Meet Meet Mochamad Arya El Rumy, a recent graduate of the University of Padjadjaran in Indonesia, and now a Student Energy Chapters alum!

From joining the SE University of Padjadjaran Chapter in 2019, to becoming the Chapter President in early 2022, Rumy has made a significant impact in the Student Energy community and beyond.

“Hello, Enernerds from all over the world! My name is Rumy and I’m the Chairman of Student Energy at Universitas Padjadjaran, located in a tropical country on the equator in Southeast Asia, Indonesia. Through Student Energy, I didn’t only learn about energy issues but also how to manage people, create events and campaigns, and communicate regularly without using my first language. I was pretty surprised myself when this summer we succeeded in collaborating with a chapter from Simon Fraser University in Canada to hold an event called The Professor of The Semester! You can find me on Instagram at @arya.elrumy”

Today, we are thrilled to feature Nyasha Milanzi, Electrical and Electronics Engineering student and co-founder of the Student Energy Chapter at Ashesi University in Ghana.

Nyasha co-founded the Student Energy Chapter on September 2021 in the hopes of providing more energy opportunities to students at her University.

The Chapter at Ashesi wants to do hands-on energy projects motivated by local energy problems to solve energy poverty in local communities. While honing relevant skills in the industry, they also facilitate energy events to enable networking between industry experts and students.

Looking ahead, Nyasha hopes to merge energy technologies, including clean cooking and policy, to eradicate energy poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.
