Understanding the electrochemistry on the wafer stage.

Cooperating project lead in IP generation projection of 3D printing in area of lighting;Patents in area of Lighting applications : new optical components, new luminaire architectures, new printer set-ups/methodsSupport for 3D luminaire production facitility

As a materials specialist I created the following items in the area of Lighting.1. IP generation projection of 3D printing in area of lighting; Patents for relevant new optical components, new luminaire concepts, new printer set-ups/methods2. New low-cost architectures (down light modules) for lighting business partners (prof Lum and LED lamps)3. Most efficient TL luminaire: 200 Lm/W (WORLD RECORD); experimental and theoretical validation to obtain the best phosphors, LEDs and luminaire design; internally awarded as invention of the year4. Understanding photodegradation of organic phosphors to realize TLED with photostable red and yellow emissive organic phosphors with lifetime > 50.000 hours under operating conditions; WP leader in OPERA (EU consortium) 5. Spectral impact of light for Horticulture : improve nutritional value of tomatoes (200% increase in vitamine C).Besides 3D printing of innovative luminaires, my expertise lies in the areas of photostable functional organic molecules, spectral contribution of light for applications, efficiency of (in)-organic phosphors, optics, luminaire architecture.Hands-on support for 3D luminaire production facility.

As a materials expert, I realized the following items in the area of semi-conductorsThin Film Technology (process development in cleanroom) to realize 1. Molecular Electronics. 6- inch wafer technology with functional self assembled monolayers making functional circuitry and logic.Scientific publications (a.o. Nature, front covers)>1000 parallel functional working molecular devices integrated on 6 inch wafer. 2. Gas-sensors. Realization of new sensor architectures OTFT based.3. e-Nose for Coffee for Consumer Lifestyle4. Realization of EU funded project: AQuality. New sensors to monitor quality of water for fish farms
