Simon ReibergGUEST
Cool.
Simon ReibergGUEST
Yeah, basically my background is mechanical engineering.
Simon ReibergGUEST
So I've been studying mechanical engineering for a very long time.
Simon ReibergGUEST
So my studies were kind of delayed because I was involved in a project called Formula Student, Formula SAE.
Simon ReibergGUEST
I think it's a common thing around the world.
Akshay JoshiHOST
Good afternoon, good morning to all of you who are joining us for this important session, which is based on the Forum's recently launched report, the Top 10 Emerging Technologies.
Akshay JoshiHOST
Joining me on my panel today are Walker Sick, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan and the DTE Energy Professor of Advanced Energy Research.
Akshay JoshiHOST
I also have with me Anna Tunkel, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sustainable Impact LLC, USA.
Volker SickGUEST
Before
Vijayan SwaminathanHOST
And what happened then? So during the 80s and 90s, banking was a huge phenomenon at the time.
Vijayan SwaminathanHOST
And you finished, I believe, mechanical engineering, if I'm not mistaken? Yes,
Sekar VembuGUEST
I did mechanical engineering.
Sekar VembuGUEST
But I didn't have a particular aptitude for mechanical engineering.
Sekar VembuGUEST
So you would always, but even mechanical engineering in IIT, it is extremely theoretical.
Sekar VembuGUEST
So you will solve, most courses were about mathematically solving.
Sekar VembuGUEST
So you don't really see and see the machines and you learn IC engines as a course, but you never really look at an IC engine and then you never really physically do something with it.
Sekar VembuGUEST
I think it was more analytical, right? It's wherever there is analytical, mathematical, I preferred that rather than physical engineering things.

Thanks for listening.
Telmo GhiorziGUEST
Tá ótimo.
Telmo GhiorziGUEST
É, Daniel, eu, eu me formei em Engenharia Mecânica na UnB em 1986, já tem 40 anos.
Telmo GhiorziGUEST
E naquela ocasião, é, o Brasil tinha muitas empresas estatais e, e havia muitos concursos.
Telmo GhiorziGUEST
Eu fiz um concurso pra trabalhar numa siderúrgica, que era a Cosipa, que fica em Cubatão, em São Paulo, e fiquei durante muito tempo lá, em, nessa-- três anos nessa siderúrgica.
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT
... to, to, to-- for that sale.
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT
So they've sold the bulk of their mechanical engineering unit.
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT
That's to a US private equity firm, Cerberus Capital Management, for about 1.1 billion pounds.
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT
Uh, so this has been up for sale for a while.
