At EJ-Projects, Eric offers support to airframers, turbine manufacturers, foundation designers, wind farm operators, and technology start-ups in their initiatives. He deploys industry-leading software, mathematical modelling, and data analysis tailored for complex applications in renewables and advanced air mobility. Key technical services and areas of expertise include:Wind turbines and foundations - Integrated Load Analysis- IEC/DNV/BSH load set computations extending to turbine components, towers, substructures (tripod, jacket, monopile, truss, tripile)- Performance, load mitigation: control system fine-tuning, mass damper techniques- Data analytics/algorithms for streamlined load simulation and validation processes (metocean data, wind tunnel data, WT-level load measurements)- Calibration of digital twins for jacket tender design- HSE procedures for MRO access helicopter hoisting operations- Single blade installation procedures- Wind farm due diligence for investment bankTidal turbines- Managing tidal turbine project database (marine conditions, ultimate loads, fatigue spectra)UAV propulsion system, aero-engines, air compressors, gyrocopters:- Rotor dynamics study for UAV propulsion system- Turboprop “windmilling after core blade off” loads for flying test bed- Project management and expert advice on third party FEA design calculations of air compressors- State-of-the-art VABS/GEBT implemention to predict anisotropic gyrocopter rotor blade dynamicsResearch and Innovation, Advanced studies for scientific understanding and technically reliable solutions, e.g.- Floating wind technology: coupled system characteristics, oscillatory behaviour, platform excursions, stability- Wind farm optimisation using rotor tilt: Study of park effects with rotor tilt control within wind turbine arrays employing vorticity-based aerodynamics techniques; Implementing aeromechanical framework for design and troubleshooting of novel downwind teetering rotor concept

Prior to EJ-Projects, Eric worked as senior development engineer at BMW Rolls-Royce of Germany, and as Technical Consultant for UK-based Rolls-Royce, Brazilian airframer Embraer, and Liebherr Aerospace of Germany. Professional roles entailed integrating turbofan aero engines and aircraft, involving Whole Engine Integration to predict structural engine response following core or fan blade releases and subsequent fly-home/windmilling events. This also encompassed load computations for take-off, flight, manoeuvring, gust, landing, and ground handling conditions, with project management responsibilities focused on functional interface control. Key aerospace-related activities also involved developing a ground loads simulation suite for landing gear design and troubleshooting.An earlier industrial radial gas turbine prototype development for Dutch technology start-up OPRA involved thermomechanical design analysis together with turbine and compressor blade dynamics studies. This technology focused on combined heat and power generation, and Eric acted in the dual-role of development engineer and FE-specialist.Eric started his professional career as FE-analyst at DAF Trucks performing cabin mounts optimisation for ride comfort and theoretical modelling of thermoelastic instabilities in drum brakes.
