What is your background?
I studied aerospace engineering at TU Delft and earned my Ph.D. at the University of Kansas. Since 2009, I have been working at the Aerospace Engineering Faculty of TU Delft. I teach courseson Aircraft and Aerodynamic Design. My research focuses on new technologies to enable sustainable aviation. One of these technologies is the Flying V, a more efficient aircraft configuration for long-haul flights.
