1998-2002 Senior scientist, at Philips Research Laboratories with Three Dimensional Computer Tomography as subject.

present and future: Traverso maker, the super duper retirement hobby, a bit on the difficult side maybe
but if you burn enough flutes that you do not like in the fireplace it seems to work for me, see begin of this website
