Studied Electrical Engineering at TU/e and graduated in 1992. Started working at Philips Center for Industrial Technology in the mechatronics group on all sorts of fun projects. Led pre-development of ASML Twinscan reticle and wafer stages from 1995 to 2000 at Philips CFT. Got involved in Robocup MSL at the end of 1999, having been asked by Thom Warmerdam and after having visited the University of Amsterdam and the Clockwork Orange team. We called ourselves the Philips Cyber Football team and paritipated in tournaments from 2002 till 2008. Worked for Philips as expat in US from 2002 till 2008, joined FEI after returning to The Netherlands, and in March 2010 joined VDL Enabling Technologies Group which is my current employer. Picked up Robocup MSL again with support from VDL ETG and other sponsors, basically restarting the Philips Cyber Football team under the new name of Robot Sports. Was appointed fellow for the High Tech Systems Center at TU/e in October 2015.
