• Research Engineer

  • Jan 2013 - Dec 2019

  Working as a research engineer on topics related to simulation and software for Aerospace applications. Part of this work has been performed in context of my PhD research in collaboration with KU Leuven. * Research into programming language design for safety-critical applications. As part of this research, I created a new programming language and compiler, called Sim, that uses recent developments in programming language design to reduce the number of faults in embedded software. The contract-based and value-semantics nature of the language, allows for formal analysis with less annotation overhead. The language has been used for the verification of a conceptual fly-by-wire application. * Virtual sensing to determine structural loads on an aircraft during landing. For this project I created a coupling between a Kalman Filter and the multi-body dynamics solver Virtual.Lab Motion (now part of Siemens Simcenter 3D) using a custom interface based on the FMI2 standard. This interface, written in a mix of C and Fortran, was also used on other projects for co-simulation, bifurcation analysis, optimization & aircraft trim analysis. In addition a Matlab toolbox based on the same interface provides easy-to-use access for other researchers. * Analysis of the structural dynamic properties of a large drone with a wing span of 6 meter. * Design and analysis of composite wing flaps, slats and ailerons for a laminar-flow wing. The challenge in this design was to create a strong enough structure that is thin enough such that the flow remains laminar. Project was part of the European Clean Sky research programme. * Development of a lifting-line aerodynamics library for Siemens Simcenter AMESim. A prototype was created in F# after which the final implementation was written in C. Show less



Trigger

• Founder

  • Mar 2015 - Nov 2019

  I founded Trigger, an online social network and mobile app for finding people that share your hobby interests to do an activity together, like sporting, gaming, and working out. If you feel like doing something, you open the app and 'trigger' people in the neighbourhood for them to get up and to join you in your activity. As founder and main developer I used C# Asp.Net MVC for the website front-end and C# Asp.Net Web API with Entity Framework for the backend. To create the cross-platform mobile app, I opted for the Ionic and Cordova framework based on Html, Css, and Javascript. www.trigger.do Show less



SmartWings

• Founder

  • Jan 2014 - Nov 2014

  In 2014 the drone market for the consumer segment was booming at a rapid pace. At that time I created Smartwings, a webshop dedicated to the first generation of low-cost drones with camera integration.

LMS, A Siemens Business

• Software Development
• 100 - 200 Employee

• Research Engineer

  • Sep 2012 - Dec 2012

  As a research engineer in the Aerospace Competence Center I worked on projects related to real-time, multi-body and system simulation. * Worked on a simulation model of the control system mechanism of a helicopter coupled to a model of the helicopter blade aerodynamics, commissioned by a large helicopter manufacturer as part of the European Clean Sky research project. * Created a real-time flight simulator, with a pilot seat, joystick, throttle, and a wall of displays in which a person fly a virtual aircraft. This co-simulation demonstrator was created to show the real-time capabilities of solver of the multi-body simulation product LMS Virtual.Lab Motion and system simulation tool LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim. Main tools used in these projects: * LMS Virtual.Lab Motion (now part of Siemens Simcenter 3D), multi-body simulation tool. * LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim (now evolved into Siemens Simcenter AMESim), system simulation tool. * Mathworks Matlab & Simulink. * C and Fortran scripts to perform the data exchange between the different simulation tools. * C# Winforms application for visualization and dashboard.
