Cartridge engineer in a multidisciplinary team developing an IVD instrument to detect biomarkers directly from physiological solutions such as whole blood, plasma or serum.Perform analysis, test models, and continuously improve diagnostic systems consisting of analyzer hardware, microfluidics disposables, blood plasma separation membranes and integrated bio‐chemical assays.Design of injection molded microfluidic disposables suitable for mass manufacturing for use in diagnostics systems.

Pioneering member of the magnetic biosensor development with major contributions to the establishment of that program for drugs of abuse, blood applications and next generations immuno assay diagnostics cartridges. Project manager of skin adhesion and worked on a variety of other projects related to new product innovations to the development and realization of a concept solution in the fields of bio-processes, micro fluidics designs, adhesives and surface functionalisation.

Scientist and project leader in various projects in innovation, development and engineering. This work was performed for customers.• Disposable cartridge engineer for the development of the microfluidic system of a lab-on-a-chip and saliva collector for roadside drug testing. Design studies, microfluidics, biomaterials, permanent hydrophilization, prototyping, mold making and activities in pilot production line, and executing user tests, communicating in multi-disciplinary project teams and reporting progress to the customer.• Technologist for chemistry and physics of materials and processes like LED encapsulation, transfer molding, biocompatible materials and market scans and scouting on new technologies.

Project leader for materials designed and used for medical applications. Fundamental knowledge of new materials is acquired by setting up national and international research projects such as European research programs and in collaborative relationships with universities and the Dutch Polymer Institute.

Research scientist responsible for the research in the field of surface active agents, emulsions and dispersions regarding their physical chemistry and colloid science. During this period I did develop new products and patented several new industrial processes and ideas. All projects were vertically integrated from the underlying science to their applications and opportunities for fundamental investigations, technological innovations as well as industrial interactions in these areas.
