HFML Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

I am an industrial automation software engineer, which means that I have knowledge to work with the many different software components in the power converters, cooling installations and other apparatus that are needed to create and maintain magnetic fields. I design, develop and test the PLCs (programmable controllers) that are used to control the HFML equipment. I strive for perfection, so I want to polish-up even the smallest details. That is why the High Field Magnet Laboratory matches my personality.

You could say I am a science-minded guy: I have always had an above average interest in physics. That is why I am so excited to be working at the HFML. I previously worked in various kinds of industrial automation. For example sea and inland shipping, the food industry and the yacht and aircraft industry.
At the moment I work on the hybrid system that is being built. That is an enormous job. I want the 45 T software to be good, but also easy to use by both internal and external users.
