My name is Selina Pfyffer and I am a passionate and innovative engineer with a deep commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. I have always been driven by the desire to make a positive impact on the world through technology and environmental stewardship. What sets me apart: Entrepreneurial spirit: As co-founder and CEO of SeasonCell AG, I have successfully translated my academic research into a real-world application by developing a zero-loss seasonal thermal energy storage system. This entrepreneurial venture has allowed me to combine my technical expertise with business acumen, and to navigate the challenges of starting and running a company. Academic accomplishments: I hold a Master's degree in Energy and Environment from the ZHAW School of Engineering, where I specialised in energy engineering, thermodynamics and smart grid systems. Practical experience: My work as a research assistant at ZHAW involved managing projects, conducting research and developing experimental setups. I also have experience in teaching and mentoring students, which has honed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively. Innovative thinking: Throughout my career I have demonstrated a talent for innovative thinking and problem solving. During my Masters, I developed a holistic new thermal energy storage system with my colleagues at SeasonCell, which exemplifies my ability to create and implement pioneering solutions. This project, which involved storing surplus energy in the summer for use in the winter, highlights my ability to creatively and practically address real-world energy challenges.
Selina has shown outstanding leadership in her start-up, SeasonCell, which aims to develop solutions for an emission-free future. SeasonCell integrates energy technology, environmental engineering, machine learning, and robotics to create a highly efficient thermal energy storage system. Co-Leading a team of 5, she launched her company during her studies, raised funds, and applied for two patents. Her innovation promises a lasting positive impact on Switzerland's energy transition.
