The SOG Chairman for the academic year of 2023-2024 is no other than Ivar Hesse. Do not let his dashing looks fool you though. He is fierce in the lab, and has been working hard on building robotics in Zernike over the course of his years in Groningen.

As a former member of BBD, he finally took the decision to joining the SOG family.

In Ivar’s spare time he collect socks and pet dogs. He is scared of the boogeyman and his girlfriend, but he is as comfortable on the rave scene as he is stealing the SOG coffee card. In defiance of these facts, SOG has basically become the ying to Ivar’s yang. .

All in all, Ivar is all about positivity and spreading good vibes. On any given Monday afternoon, you can find him in the SOG office doing a light-hearted spin in the office chairs, or watering the plants.
