Hi, I'm Anne-Amélie Campant!
Process Engineering Intern at Tesla Inc.
Anne-Amélie Campant is a member of the 10th Cohort of Schwarzman Scholars. She graduated with a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering (ABET) and an Energy Studies Certificate from Yale University. As President of European Horizons, Anne-Amélie launched Yale's European Symposium, addressing EU-US-China relations from an academic perspective. At Yale she led the twice international award-winning Society of Women Engineers, championing STEM education for young girls within and beyond New Haven. Anne-Amélie's technical expertise spans four years of grant-honored critical minerals research, work experience at gas-separations startup Osmoses and as a Tesla process engineer. She aspires for a dual engineering-policy career reimagining the clean energy transition. Anne-Amélie is from France and the UK.
