My work at TNO focusses on the modelling of soldier injuries and the consequences that injuries have for the performance of soldiers. Although I am mainly focussed on ballistic injuries, I am also interested in exchanging knowledge on other types of (military related) injuries such as blast injuries.Consequences of injuries affect the residual capabilities of a wounded soldier. These consequences are not only a measure of risk, but can also be a measure of performance of the protective equipment. At TNO we strive to improve the quality of these risk and performance estimates in order to support the Dutch Ministry of Defense in the formulation of policies and the acquisition of new protective equipment.TNO has an extensive toolbox of experimental and computational tools that we can deploy to achieve this goal.
Listed skills include Finite Element Analysis, Ls Dyna, Engineering, Matlab, and 9 others.
