About

It is my passion to discover, research, design, test and implement theory into practice. I am by nature a very enthusiastic creativity driven person, who always strives to make a difference.

Experience

  • Magnet Engineer at CERN
    Feb 2023 - Present · 3 yrs 5 mos

    Maintenance, operation, and upgrades of the ATLAS magnet system BabyIAXO conceptual superconducting magnet design and simulations Research in aluminum-stabilized HTS cables for future detector magnets Supervision of students (paper reviewing) Help with managing and upgrading the laboratory and workshop Magnet testing and measurements Experiments with superconductors using helium cryostats and cryocoolers Cryogenics experiments

  • Freelance Engineer at De Createur
    Jan 2017 - Present · 9 yrs 6 mos

    As a freelance engineer, I have completed multiple assignments. One project was designing and building a sample spool machine for 3D-printing filament. This machine makes (semi) automatic small sample spools out of a large spool. With this machine I partly designed and build the machine and programmed the entire control system. I also did several small design and 3D print assignments.

  • Manufacturing Engineer at NTS-Group
    Jun 2020 - Jan 2023 · 2 yrs 8 mos

    At NTS-Norma we Develop, produce and assemble complete high precision mechatronic systems -Tooling design -5S implementation -Cleanroom assembly with the intention of process improvement -Assisting with a project to ramp up the production and expand the machine park -Improving assembly instructions

  • Graduate intern at CERN
    Mar 2018 - Sep 2018 · 7 mos

    During my Short Term Internship at CERN I was part of the Superconducting magnet design and technology section. I worked on the development of the new generation of supper conductive accelerator magnets. During the winding process I fount out a problem with the cable tensioning system so I: Defined and designed a new machine for winding superconducting magnetic coils. Due to new features and a better design of the machine, the magnetic coil quality will increase and Less chance to damage the expensive superconducting cable because of a feedback system and safety systems. The machine will be easier to handle an will monitor the winding process. During the process I also designed, build and tested a prototype tension sensor together with a feedback system. This system is used in the actual winding process.

  • Engineering Intern at Nikhef
    Feb 2016 - Aug 2016 · 7 mos

    At Nikhef I've been working on developing a cooling system for electronics. These electronics will be placed in one of the detectors of the particle accelerator at CERN. I made thermodynamic calculations and simulations using hand calculations, Excel and the simulation program Comsol. I also submitted a out of the box concept, material selection and advice.
