Rob Litwin, EIT (ON), B.A.Sc. Robert (Rob) Alexander Litwin (born January 24, 1995) is a Canadian mine engineer (ON) and mathematician. Most known for being not known as a mathematician turned mine engineer/social entrepreneur. Rob is the CEO of Forgive Me Father - a social initiative that targets men's mental health in Canada through fashion, most notably a men's underwear line which has been in operation (behind the scenes) since January 2019.

Rob completed an internship at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences at the age of 16, where he studied mathematical proofs and the elegance of mathematical logic. Under the supervision of Dr. George Elliot, FRSC and his teaching fellow, Franklin, Rob learned from a young age the intricate nature of logic by proving simple polynomial proofs using base case analysis, then expanding the logic to an "inductive step" to show that if "k" scenario can be shown to be true and so can "k+1" scenario, then all other cases "k+n" are therefore shown to be true. This was then applied to more complex polynomial proofs, prime factorization, and Fibonacci numbers.

Rob completed high school at Bishop Allen Academy, in Etobicoke, ON where he achieved National Advanced Placement Scholar for his score on Physics B, Calculus AB, Chemistry, English Language and Composition, and Psychology in the twelfth grade. From there, he moved to Kingston, ON to attend Queen's University where he completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in mine engineering. During his time at Queen's he was the co-founder and inaugural President of Queen's EngiQueers, a club committed to 2SLGBTQ+ visibility in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen's University. Rob completed a undergraduate thesis titled "Synchronization of Data During Live Acquisition" in his final year of Queen's, where he studied acoustic vibrations through granite samples to assess seismicity in mines under supervision of Oscar Rielo M.A.Sc., Dr. Takis Katsabanis Ph.D. P.Eng. and Dr. Julian Ortiz, Ph.D.

Since graduating from Queen's University, Rob has worked at Pan American Silver Corp. where he was hired as a mine Engineer In Training (EIT) in 2019. In his tenure at Pan American Silver in Timmins, ON, Rob has gained exposure to areas of underground operations, surveying, ventilation, drilling/blasting, general mine planning, and reserves/budget estimations and reconciliations. Further, Rob is an Industry Trainer in the field of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion since 2021 via the Mining Industry Human Resources Council, where he has learned both theory and operational goals of EDI principles in an organizational setting. Outside of work, Rob joined the Board of Directors of Fierté Timmins Pride in April 2021, where he served as a Director at Large, and more recently the Executive team before tendering his resignation from the board. Rob remains an active member of Fierté Canada Pride (the national body of Canadian prides) on the Finance committee.
