Research interest

• Everything that goes on at the department.
• Deriving equations for some of our insane PhD-students.
• Oracle for consultation with amazingly inexplicable experimental data.
• Conception, design, and production of special equipment for (dental) materials research, such as:
  ACTA Wear machine (conception only)
  ACTA Intense tensilometer
  ACTA Fatigue tester
  ACTA Wilson's reometer
  ACTA Ball-on-Ring test
  Load cell display and a myriad of highly specialized load cells
  Micro-tensile (bond) strength test setup for 1mm-cross-section and smaller specimens (conception and design)
