Biography

Arnaud (Arno) Huijer works as a PhD candidate since 2020 under the auspices of dr. Pooria Pahlavan and prof. dr. Christos Kassapoglou. In his research he assesses the feasibility of composite marine propellers with embedded piezoelectric sensors for vibration- and structural health monitoring. This is for the benefit of NWO project ECoProp.

Early on, Arno became acquainted with shipping and shipbuilding. These experiences let him to pursue his studies in Marine Technology at TU Delft. Starting in 2013, he received his Bachelor’s degree in 2016 and his Master’s degree in 2019.

During his graduation thesis, Arno researched the embedding of piezoelectric sensors in carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites. During experiments he demonstrated that the embedded sensors were able to measure low-frequency vibrations and acoustic emissions caused by the development of damage within the composite material.
