“What still drives me? All the endless possibilities.”
Athanasia has spent ten years exploring how new technologies can help shape the future of energy. Today, she leads a team working with AI, collaborating with experts across Vattenfall to turn new possibilities into solutions.
“Be curious and willing to learn new things.”
Dado joined Vattenfall as a thesis student, looking for a place where he could solve real-world problems. Today, he works with innovation and helps shape the future of energy systems – driven by curiosity and a willingness to keep learning.
Pär wants to contribute to society’s energy supply
At Vattenfall’s laboratory in Älvkarleby, Pär Nilsen gets the opportunity to work both hands-on and digitally – with everything from large-scale physical models of hydropower plants to digital twins of facilities. He often compares it to being on the TV show MythBusters.
“We test lots of different things. If something doesn’t work, we make adjustments and try again,” says Pär.
Sonsoles is developing solutions for a world that does not exist yet
For Sonsoles Jimenez collaboration is essential when projects encounter difficulties. According to her, solving an unexpected problem together often creates stronger teams than a project in which everything proceeds exactly as planned.
“You become close to your colleagues when you go through a stressful situation together and manage to fix it. Problem-solving as a team is a great feeling and often good for innovation as well.”
Tony finds solutions by looking at problems from different perspectives
A master’s thesis on cable testing brought engineer Tony Sibo to Vattenfall’s R&D department, where he has continued to explore how cables perform under different types of stress. Some of his most valuable insights come from collaborating with colleagues across different parts of the organisation.
“It’s easy to approach a question from your own perspective. When you discuss it with others, things often come up that you wouldn’t have thought of yourself,” says Tony.
