I have known Gerard for a long time, as a MSc student in high-tech systems, as a PhD student in rehabilitation technology, and in his corporate positions in mechatronics and precision engineering. His deep technical knowledge, ample project experience, and empathetic personality qualify him for any high level project and team lead function in industry, research institutes or academia. Highly recommended!
