My Story

In 2007 Joris graduated in Applied Physics (MSc, University of Twente) with a focus on lab automation, optics, microscopy & spectroscopy. After a couple of years of industry experience in software engineering and sensors (integration and signal processing), he joined Saxion in 2013.

At Saxion Joris has been teaching Mechanical Engineering for 8 years, with a specialization in industrial automation, programming, electric actuators, and sensors.

Besides teaching, he joined the Saxion applied research group Mechatronics (now SMART) as a researcher in 2014. Joris did projects on the following topics:

Low-cost sensor integration
FMCW radar profile measurements
3D Vision
Adaptive robot path planning
Systems engineering of automated solutions for manufacturing processes

His current focus lies on industrial manipulators, 3d vision, mobile robots, and systems engineering, mainly with a focus on industrial applications. Besides being active at Saxion he is also working at the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform at the University of Twente, where his research activities focuses on similar topics.
