Working Experience
Research Engineer in the Fraunhofer-Institut für Betriebsfestigkeit und Systemzuverlässigkeit LBF, in the centre of competence for Mechatronics/Adaptronics in Darmstadt, Germany
Research fellow within the EC FP6 Marie Curie RTN “SMART STRUCTURES” (www.smart-structures.eu). Key focus of the work is the derivation of a reliable methodology for assuring the robustness and the reliability of active vibration control systems, considering reduced development time and costs
- March 2007 - October 2007
Research Engineer in LMS International, CAE Division in Leuven, Belgium
Research fellow within the EC FP6 Marie Curie RTN “MADUSE” (www.maduse.org). Key focus of the work was to develop an active noise control strategy optimizing all the design parameters and taking into account the effect of parameter variability
- June 2006 - February 2007
Trainee in LMS International, RTD Division in Leuven, Belgium
Research activity on inverse BEM and vibro-acoustical analysis.
Collaboration within the European research project “InMAR”. Simulation of the noise of a train engine (application case provided by Bombardier) at target line frequencies and distances
