As system engineer I am responsible for setting up and guarding of customer requirements for the advanced machine vision systems under development in a phased project approach. I translate the customer requirements to functional- and technical requirements and to guidelines for image processing- and control system engineering colleagues. I like to work in multidisciplinary teams to make the project a success with each other. Furthermore, I develop image processing code and play the role of Scrum Master in our team. Also after the onsite installation of the vision system, I stay in close contact with the customer to discuss possible improvements, implement them if possible and solve possible problems.

Involved in the development of a fruit processing machine for use in e.g. supermarkets. I've been involved in guiding development of the prototype and development to the 0-series. Also dealt with the guidance of the first field test in the supermarket, interaction with customers, employees and management and patent application. I also collected feedback from the field test, as well as actions that originated from assembly of the prototype, and discussed and distributed these in team meetings.

Ph.D. research, funded by Veridex LLC, a Johnson & Johnson company, in the Medical Cell BioPhysics group of Prof. Dr. Leon Terstappen. Development of an automated image cytometer, CellTracks TDI, which detects very rare circulating tumor cells, in varying stages, in the blood of cancer patients. The accurate detection and characterization of circulating tumor cells is crucial in the development of personalized therapies for individual cancer patients.The developed image cytometer uses a TDI camera to minimize overhead time during scanning of the sample. The classification of detected events is automated and eliminates human reviewer error and permits true quantitative assessment of parameters. Imaging times of cells in a sample were reduced 3-fold by the development of cell alignment structures that concentrate cells onto the analysis surface. The automated classification of circulating tumor cells was further improved by the removal of contaminating unbound magnetic particles from processed patient samples. This also allowed for the accurate detection of treatment targets on cells of interest.Specialties(Cell) Biophysics, working with / building microscopes, sample preparation, image processing and analysis.
