Bio
Stefan Walther
To whom it may concern: I had the pleasure to work with Thomas in the years 2010/2011 at Liebherr Machines Bulle SA, where he was one of the key players to get the new generation of Liebherr Diesel engines to conformity with new environmental protection law, as one of the Application Engineers in my team. Thomas, being one of the Senior engineers on the Team, not only was always eager to bring ist Expertise at it's best to the Company, but also trained several of the more Junior colleagues on the Team in technical and administrative aspects of the Job. Thomas showed the highest degree of commitment: Long working hours, spontaneous actions at a prototype or even Client site did never shy him away, but he went for it no matter what. I liked working with Thomas very much, and would be happy if our paths crossed again in the future.
HARALD SCHWAB
Thomas took care of an advanced control for DPF load modelling and regeneration. He showed a sound understanding and capability in engine controls and after treatment controls which allowed him to use our test resources in a efficient and effective way. He did this in a foreign country and culture dealing with our Japanese colleges in such a nice way that all of us enjoyed very much working with him. I can clearly recommend him for any type of diesel controls development or calibration task.
