He has been on the Philips staff since 1969, after he received his physics degree at Eindhoven University. He published over 80 papers, is the leading author of a book on Compact Thermal Modeling, and editor/author of a book on LED Thermal Management. He was one of the pioneers of using CFD in the field of electronics cooling. From 1998 to 2002 he led an EU-project coined PROFIT concluding the three successful projects DELPHI, SEED and THERMINIC. In 1995 and 2009 he received the Best Paper Award at Semitherm. He received the SEMITHERM Award in 2001 and the Harvey Rosten Exceptional Award In 2006 for recognition of his pioneering contributions. He was an editor of ElectronicsCooling since its launch in 1995, until 2012. Currently, he is still active through his consultancy SomelikeitCool (e.g. Eonics, Philips, Honeywell, Applikon, SSBV, FOX-IT, Technolution, Innolux, Royal-Haskoning, FutureFacilities, Saturn, Huawei, CESAR), as a reviewer, and presenter of courses.
