Dispuut Verkeer Board 2025-I
Board
Amelija Ancupane
Chair
Hi! I'm Amēlija, the Chairwoman of Dispuut Verkeer. I'm a first-year TIL student from Latvia, but - fun fact - I completed my Bachelor's degree in Abu Dhabi. As the chair, my role is to represent the needs of students and of the alumni in the association. I am also here to cultivate a feeling of a close community within Dispuut Verkeer and ensure a smooth cooperation between students, board members, committees, faculty and the department. I am also part of the Lustrum committee and I am so excited to celebrate the 35th birthday of Dispuut Verkeer! Outside of studies, you can find me playing volleyball in the Ladies 5 team at Punch or playing the guitar. If you have any questions or just want to have a chat, you can email me at chairman@dispuutverkeer.nl or just find me at the HoK, lecture halls or V-drinks.
Yannick Elsten
Secretary
Hey! I’m Yannick, the secretary of Dispuut Verkeer. I’m a TIL student specializing in the Transport Networks track, with a background in Environmental Engineering from Munich, Germany.
As secretary, my most important job is to be your go-to person for anything related to our association – whether you've got questions, suggestions, or run into any issues. You’ll also see me popping up with updates about important news, upcoming activities, and everything else happening within Dispuut Verkeer.
So please don't hesitate to reach out – I'm happy to have a chat with you in Dutch, English, or German! You can find me in person, on our WhatsApp community, Instagram, or the old-school way via email at secretary@dispuutverkeer.nl.
Outside of the lecture halls and the HoK, you’ll probably spot me at our monthly V-Drinks, enjoying a concert, or carving down the ski slopes in the Alps. See you around!
Aristi Molocha
Treasurer
As the treasurer of both the DV Association and the Activities Committee, I am responsible for managing our budget and making sure that all our financial processes run smoothly. From tracking expenses to planning for upcoming events, I help ensure that our events are not only well-organized but also enjoyable and memorable for everyone involved. This year, we have a lot of exciting things in store, ranging from social gatherings to creative events that will bring our community together. I’m really looking forward to helping these ideas come to life!
Outside of my committee responsibilities, I love to unwind by watching series and movies. There's nothing better than enjoying a great story while indulging in good food and a refreshing beer—it’s my perfect way to relax after a busy day.
Nicholas Alvord
Commissioner of Education TIL
Hey there, my name is Nicholas and I am your Commissioner of Education here at Dispuut Verkeer. I’m a first year TIL student in the Transportation Networks track, but I completed my undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and German back in the US. Here on the board, my role mainly entails helping students get the most out of their education, whether that be through answering questions, bringing feedback to professors, or helping facilitate the course evaluations.
Outside of class, you can find me cross-country skiing in the winter, playing tennis in the summer, or singing the local choir here in Delft. As the token Alaskan here in Dispuut Verkeer (Yes, I am actually from Alaska. No, we do not live in igloos) I aim to bring some Nordic cheer to my role, to my fellow board and committee members, and to the entirety of Dispuut Verkeer. Feel free to get in contact with me if you have any further questions - you can write to me at: education@dispuutverkeer.nl
Moritz Knöll
Commissioner of Education TTE
Hey! My name is Moritz and I am a first-year TTE student (the only one on this board, sadly).
This year, I am exited to serve as your Commissioner of Education for the TTE track.
Before moving to Delft, I completed my Bachelor's in Civil Engineering in Konstanz, Germany.
In my free-time off-campus, I enjoy going for a hike, skiing (when there is any snow) and exploring new places.
As CoE, my main job is to ensure smooth communication and cooperation between the department of Transport & Planning and our students.
If you have any questions, suggestions or issues with your studies, feel free to reach out via e-mail at education@dispuutverkeer.nl or find me in or around the HoK.
See you around!
John Hünteler
Commissioner of Career
Hi! My name is John, one of the Commissioners of Career. I'm a first-year TIL student in the Governance track. I grew up in the area of Leiden, and did my Bachelor's degree in civil engineering at the University of Twente.
As Commissioner of Career, I take care of the contact with our partners, which sponsor us to organize activities, drinks and trips. This involves signing contracts, and meeting with them regularly. As a part of this, I also organize lunch lectures, where these partners come to talk about projects they are working on. Furthermore, I will also organize other events with the partners, like company drinks or in-house days.
In my free time, you can find me on the beach playing volleyball, in the mountains skiing, or anywhere else I found a cheap flight to.
