Ermin Chow
VP Finance
vp.finance@energyclub.ca
Ermin is a 4th year Finance student who is minoring in Accounting and is fascinated by the energy industry. As an Albertan, he understands that the energy is a key part of the economy and that it must be sustainable for the long term viability of the industry. The energy trading business and financial structures of energy corporations are especially of intrigue to him. Ermin has worked as a summer intern on the Integrated Supply and Trading team at BP Canada Energy and in various roles at the University of Alberta. He is also a candidate for the CFA Program and will be taking the Level I exam this December. Ermin would love to share his passion for energy with the campus community and to increase awareness about the industry through his role in the Energy Club.

Edson Nogueira Junior
VP Communication
vp.communications@energyclub.ca
Edson has graduated in mechanical engineering with a minor in energy and is now pursuing his M.Sc. in mechanical engineering at the University of Alberta, with his research theme being the conversion of algal biomass into biofuels. He has worked in a hydroelectric power plant and a pulp and paper factory, and also completed a research program at the University of Toronto in the area of Thermodynamics as part of his undergrad program. With his background and interest for the energy sector, he hopes to contribute a lot to the Energy Club this coming year while also learning more from his colleagues and experts invited to the club's events.

Thomas Roberts
VP Events
vp.events@energyclub.ca
Tom is currently in his fourth year of civil engineering at the University of Alberta. He was exposed to the energy industry early on through his parents who were both engineers working in the oilsands. After highschool, Tom pursued a Bachelor of Commerce degree while gaining work experience in the energy and construction industries through the co-op program at his university. He completed his degree and started focusing on alternative energy generation methods and energy efficient developments. He decided to go back to school to complete an engineering degree at the University of Alberta and become more involved in the subject. Thomas recently completed a summer position in Germany helping develop energy efficient building models and energy loss analyses. He is intrigued by the economics of the industry and hopes he can inspire more people to learn about this dynamic and ever-increasingly important industry.
