Berufserfahrung

2011 -

Singapore-ETH Centre for Global Environmental Sustainability, Future Cities Laboratory. PhD Student at the first foreign centre of the ETH Zurich, located in Singapore. The research concerns the implementation and the extension of the MATSim framework for Singapore. My part will address the development of several discrete choice models required for MATSim. The research is conducted in an international team of 5 persons headed by Professor Kay W. Axhausen and Alexander Erath.

2010 - 2011

INITI8 B.V.: R&D Manager: Coordinating the research and development activities, both operational and strategic.

2008 - 2010

INITI8 B.V.; Consultant. Projects in various sectors (healthcare, inland shipping, post handling, mainports) and with various stakeholders (municipalities, provinces, privately owned companies) with as main theme logistics, intra-organizational optimization, data visualization and performance measurement.

2007

ETH Zurich, Zurich; Master thesis in the transport planning group of Professor Kay W. Axhausen and under supervision of Professor Bovy. Topic: Consumer choice behaviour and strategies of air transportation modeling. The thesis concerns the modeling of itinerary choice behaviour, by applying discrete choice theory and addresses potential application areas of such models.

2006

INITI8 B.V., Rotterdam; Data-analyst and simulation consultant for several sectors, such as juvenile care. A system dynamics approach is used.

2006
