Erik obtained a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering and a master degree in Energy Engineering at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. During his master thesis he worked on the acceleration of vortex particle methods for simulating wind turbines.
After graduating, Erik joined the wind energy group of TNO as junior scientist. Since July 2020, he is pursuing his PhD as part of the TIADE project, a collaborative research effort between TNO, GE Renewable Energies and LM Wind Power (
Turbine Improvements for Additional Energy - Topsector Energie). Erik investigates the aeroelastic wind turbine blade behaviour in field conditions. This entails both field data analysis as well as comparisons to numerical simulation results.
