I am an experienced researcher who accepted an opportunity to extend my non-technical skills in a management position a few years back. I have at present dedicated most of my career to photovoltaic solar cells (both conventional silicon type and triple junction type). However, my passion extends beyond solar cells to any other (renewable) energy subjects, regardless of whether it concerns energy generation or storage.

Throughout my work I have always approached things from a materials point of view with a fascination for nanotechnology.

Experience has taught me that my professional value boils down to the following:

- I offer a critical and analytical look at things.

- I don’t care who gets credit, I want to get it done.

- I use direct and concise communication.

- I’m a self-starter.

- I’m a fast-learner who keeps asking why.

- I can explain complex issues in simple terms.

I am interested in any networking opportunities that allow me to broaden my scope beyond purely technical topics. Reach out if you want to talk technology, business or basketball.

My first Myers-Briggs Type indicator assessment came out as INTP.

My DISC profile is high D, high C.
