We are an initiative by the teacher’s pool of the Game Design and Technology specialization at Fontys University of Applied Sciences (ICT) in Eindhoven to help great game ideas blossom.

As a researcher, I led and worked on projects in the research groups: Interaction Design, AI, and High Tech Embedded Systems. As a lecturer, I give workshops and coach students in the fields of machine learning (including NLP), media design, and game design.

As a lecturer, I teach and develop subjects in the fields of programming, design and communication such as: JavaScript/PHP/Python/C#/C programming, Web Design, Visual Communication, and Mobile Development.

My role as semester coordinator is ensuring a safe but awesome learning environment for second year ICT & Media Design students.

As minor coordinator and member of the Centre of Expertise in Big Data, I am responsible for setting up an engaging curriculum for the field of Applied Data Science in the turbulent world of Big Data. In addition, I coordinate all things required for running a smooth semester.

One weary scientist tamed the power of the well into a singular device. Ready to be shared with the world, in moderation. Contact me if you want to consult the well for app and game development, AI and data science.

At Bridge Big, we're taking playing the card game bridge online to a new level. As a concept, it is a platform where serious bridge players can earn a living from behind their screens, which is hard to do offline, and impossible to do online without Bridge Big.But at a deeper level, we created an application on the server side using the CQRS principles that is so clean it makes you weep. It effortlessly scales horizontally to handle all the requests we would ever need and auditing and analytics is a breeze as we can go back to any point in history using the event store. Most of my time is spent on developing the client application. The web client is served a state-of-the-art HTML5 responsive page that morphs flawlessly to give every device the best experience possible, with a minimal download and Javascript footprint.Next to all that, I'm also responsible for designing most of the artwork on the website and marketing materials.

At Awoken Well, we wanted to revolutionize the way presentations are given. We created a product which made it easy to build new presentations from a database of slides. It allowed the presenter to take different paths within a presentation and to have highly interactive content. We sold the product and an example presentation to the Eindhoven University of Technology where it was used successfully to attract new students to study Applied Physics.In addition, I developed an iPhone application "FaceBlender" based on code I had written 10 years earlier.

Support for FDTD simulations.

I investigated mechanisms to improve organic LED light output.

I spent a good four years writing and using a 3D rigorous electromagnetic solver (FDTD) in C++. I simulated various periodic and isolated, emitting and non-emitting, resonant structures such as (O)LEDs, solar cells, metallic biosensors and lithographic masks. I also found a novel way to optimize the light coupling out of an LED by treating it as if it was a solar cell using the reciprocity principle. While LEDs were my main attention, I spent much of my time helping my colleagues with their passions.I found much pleasure in finding new ways for my simulations to fill CPU and RAM everywhere. My simulations would run in serial batches on desktops with any operating system, in parallel batches across clusters, in parallel on multicore HPC servers and even on my iPhone for demonstration purposes.The most pleasure I found in presenting my results in an animating way (often literally), to capture the essence of the physics involved in moving data, and to travel the world with my laptop and colleagues at every conference opportunity I could grasp.

As an expert at S[&]T, I perform simulations, analyze, and report their results for on-going projects.

During my PhD I spent a lot of time as a guest in several groups at Philips Research. After obtaining my PhD, I applied the FDTD model that I wrote to even more problems. I delved deeper into the fundamentals of nanoantenna resonances, and described nanowires as both ahighly directional light source and for super-thin efficient solar cells. In this period,I mostly cooperated with the AMOLF FOM group working at Philips Research. All in all, I felt as a most welcome guest there.
