Utrecht Area, Netherlands

Part of the software team at MPS: - Specialized in Autopilot and Autothrottle systems of the MPS B737 and A320 Simulators - Developed interfaces with rehosted systems for the B737 MAX simulator - Developed updates for the automatic guidance and flight control systems as well as aircraft systems (e.g. hydraulics, fuel control) for the A320 STD2.0 update on MPS simulators - Created documentation and created/tuned required tests (QTG) for the certification as per EASA/FAA requirements of multiple FTD/FNPT simulators for all aircraft platforms supplied by MPS

The Hague Area, Netherlands

- Developed and tested the flight dynamics models of Airbus and Boeing Level D flight simulators (A320, A330, B767, B777).- Participated in the qualification process of A320, A330, B767 and B777 level D flight simulators by testing and evaluating the flight performance simulation software using qualification test guides (QTGs). - Set up a new baseline for the delivery of the QTG documentation.- Assumed responsibility as technical lead of the LMCFT regional-weather project from March 2016.

Delft Area, Netherlands

- Performed a research project into the role of lateral motion cueing in curve driving simulation, aimed at evaluating the fidelity requirements for driving simulators. - This project involved a literature survey, followed by a preliminary analysis using driver model simulations and an actual experiment in the SIMONA research simulator at the Control & Simulation Department of the Aerospace Engineering Faculty of TU Delft. After the experiment the results were interpreted by applying system identification techniques, in order to determine a model of the human controller in a control engineering fashion.

Utias, North York, Toronto, On

- Research in Upset Recovery Training, taking part in the improvement of the fidelity of the UTIAS research flight simulator in upset flying conditions.- Improvement of the UTIAS flight research simulator motion base filters in order to allow high frequency vibrations and reduction of phase lag over the entire operational frequency range of the motion base.- Expansion of the UTIAS flight research simulator stall buffet model, to a level that complies with FAA and ICAO requirements for Level D flight simulators
