Technical Support

Together with Harrie Jansma, Liliana Baron and Willy Rook, I am one of the 4 technicians of the section Catalysis Engineering (CE).

It is my job to make sure the scientists (PhD-students, postdocs and Msc-and Bsc-students) can do top research. Advice is not only given on how to build, construct or modify setups. As a research assistant I will go into detail to perform the best experiments.

The technicians also have a lot of contact with the TU Delft department workshop (Demo), the facilities (FMVG), LMS, the Department Safety Officer (DSO) and with other technicians in the DCT-building.

The following setups are my direct responsibility: 

• Multitrack / TAP
• Spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman, UV)
• TGA
• TPR /TPD /TPO temperature programmed technique
• Vacuum-technique
• Mass-spectrometry

With most of the other setups I can also help (and otherwise one of the other technicians can help).

Area Supervision

• Deputy Area supervisor of E2-190 CE-Lab and E2-530 Spectroscopy Lab.

Teaching Activities

• Assistant LO practicum and Msc / Bsc Projects

 Followed Courses

• Summerschool Spectrocat Caen (2010)
• Safe working with gascylinders (2004)
• FTIR introductie cursus (2003)
• Swagelok Tubing Course (1999)

Research Activities

Several research projects have been done in the field of spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry. This leads as a co-author to the latest publications and so far in 2018 1000 citations.
