Ton van den Boogaard

About. ‘Material models for sheet metal forming’

In 2002 Ton van den Boogaard received a PhD on the modelling of warm forming of aluminium. Since 2004 he is Associate Professor in Mechanics of Forming Technology at the University of Twente. The focus of his current research is on numerical techniques, material modelling, formability and on optimization for robust processes. Van den Boogaard is member of the board of directors of the European Scientific Association for Material Forming (ESAFORM) and associate editor of the International Journal of Material Forming. Since 2011 he is cluster coordinator of the ‘Virtual shaping and structural performance’ cluster of the Materials innovation institute.

Martijn Mulder

About. Materials in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Martijn Mulder is a chemistry graduate (physical organic chemistry, Prof.dr. L. Jenneskens) from Utrecht University, with a Ph.D. in inorganic materials chemistry from Leiden University (coordination chemistry, Prof.dr. J. Reedijk). He has over 8 years of experience in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell research and development. Before joining Nedstack Fuel Cell Technology 6 years ago he worked on PEMFC cathode structures at the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands in Petten. At Nedstack he is responsible for membrane-electrode-assembly development and evaluation. More recently his focus shifted to the durability and lifetime of the PEM fuel cell and stack.

Robert Lenferink

About. CETEX® NEXT GENERATION, drive for affordability

Robert Lenferink studied chemical engineering in Enschede (BSc) and worked at TenCate since 1995 where he started as R&D engineer and since 2006 as R&D director at TenCate Advanced Composites. In this period the thermoplastic materials portfolio was developed and successfully introduced for different Aerospace applications at all main OEM’s. In 2011 Robert was appointed as “new business development manager” for advanced composites. Within this function he is responsible for development and growth of new industrial markets and technologies that will grow the TenCate Advanced Composites business.

Martin de Groot

About. "The FITS System", a new way of thinking with sandwich panels.

Martin de Groot studied HTS-Civil Engineering and HTS-Mechanical Engineering.
He now works as Managing Director at FITS Technology. He also worked at Fokker BV and Schreiner Composites.

Bert Huis in 't Veld

About. Laser machining of materials on macro and micro scale

Bert Huis in 't Veld leads the chair Applied Lasertechnology of the Faculty Mechanical Engineering of the University of Twente. He works also in Expertise group Mechatronics, Mechanics and Materials of TNO in Eindhoven. The chair focuses on automation of laser welding and lasercladding and also on laser micro machining. In both cases the material laser interaction is the key area of research. Special attention is given to new processes using ultra short laser pulses in the femto and pico second range. These processes include subtractive, modification and additive methods. Examples are: laser ablation, laser dicing and laser transfer.
