I always have been interested in the field of acoustics. Since I was 8, I was already busy with exciting structures such that they vibrate and produce sound waves, back then they called it playing percussion. Therefore, I am very interested in acoustics, more particular numerical acoustics, vibroacoustics and dynamic analysis.
At the moment, I am working on a PhD project together with ASML. The project is a continuation based on the EngD program I completed on November 2025. During this project, a set of modelling tools was designed for acoustic substructuring. This topic will be further explored during the PhD project.
I graduated from my master in November 2023 at Peutz. There, we used FEM to determine balcony insertion loss due to road noise. The simulations were validated using measurements, and could be used to get a more accurate prediction of the insertion loss compared to the norms and standards.

In December 2025, I completed my EngD program. This project was a collaboration between ASML and the University of Twente, where we created a set of modelling tools used for acoustic substructuring. These acoustic substructuring tools are able to handle damping, and employs a modal constraint mode concept. Therefore, the assembly is also done in a modal way.
At the moment, I am continuining this research direction in the form of a PhD track. Again, using a calloboration between ASML, University of Twente, and funding from TKI HTSM. I am looking forward to extend the acoustic substructuring framework even more, and to enhance use within ASML.
My graduation assignment focused on the the application of acoustic FEM in the area of building physics. A method was presented which was able to predict the acoustic insertion loss of balconies. The FEM was validated by field measurements on three balconies. This method improves the alignment between the legislation and the actual situation, as the current prediction from the standards is based on a handful of oversimplified balcony geometries.
