Expert Details
Capillary Gas Chromatography, Petro-Chemistry and Miniaturisation, Method Development
ID: 731778
Netherlands
Starting as a researcher in the earlier years he focused more on new international developments in the Years with Varian and Bruker. He managed a number of projects with an interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to create state of the art products. Expert strong interest in miniaturization of gas chromatography equipment.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS:
PIONA analyzer (special, unique phases; column configurations). Various petrochemical analyzers (a.o. Lowox). Numerous one-off systems. Micro-Gasifier. Micro-GC Instrument Control Specification. Micro-GC coupled to Differential Mobility Detector (FAIMS). Micro-GC, in board data handling. Working on: fast column temperature programming; high temperature injector; etc
Expert has developed a range of analyzers based on capillary and packed gas chromatography serving the hydrocarbon processing as well as the energy industry.
He has acted as a discussion partner to find solutions for specific problems in the micro-sensors, translating them to chromatography equivalents.He has worked with many petrochemical companies to define the chromatographic needs in their analytical lab.

Work History
| Years | Employer | Title | Department |
|---|---|---|---|
| Years: 2010 to 2013 | Employer: Bruker BV, The Netherlands | Title: Sr Scientist | Department: R&D |
Responsibilities:Senior scientist R&D; responsible for new developments. As this started as an incomplete split-off from Varian, initially a lot of time was put in the completion of the portfolio. A new GC electronic platform was developed and successfully introduced. |

| Years: 2000 to 2010 | Employer: Varian BV, The Netherlands | Title: Sr Scientist | Department: R&D |
Responsibilities:Senior scientist R&D; responsible for integration of new, external developments. My main interest was with the micro-GC in all its aspects. In this time a lot of hardware improvements were integrated. The Differential Mobility Detector, a FAIMS technology was integrated into the micro GC hardware. A stand-alone, process version of the micro-GC was developed. |
