For more than 20 years I work on the field of fire and explosion safety. The emphasis of my experience is on explosion modelling, prevention and protection for gas and dust explosions in a broad range of industries.Earlier work consists of:- Fundamental experimental researche.g. on flame acceleration of gas explosions in tunnels, dust explosion suppression in vessels, explosion pressure piling in connected vessels,- Modelling of hazardous effectse.g. jet flames from storage of class 1.3 material, internal gas explosion venting efficiency, ventilation, dispersion and Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE) studies in complex geometries using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).- Consultancye.g. Technical Lead CFD in Safety Studies on FLNG and FPSO designs, Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA), explosion protection or preventive methods for hazardous areas, Drafting Hazardous Areas Classification Dossiers / Explosion Protection Documents (ATEX), Building Risk Assessments and Fire Safety Plans.- Traininge.g. Hogere Veiligheids Kunde (HVK), ATEX Directives, Awareness Training.Specialties:- Safety Studies involving Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of ventilation, gas dispersion and vapour cloud explosions (VCE) in complex geometries- Gas & dust explosion prevention and protection (ATEX)- Fire safety engineering- Design of explosion protection devices- Explosives and fireworks storage safety- Modelling of fire and explosion effects and consequences

Listed skills include Gas, Project Management, Engineering, Simulations, and 6 others.
