Expertise
I am valorisation and business development manager for the Faculty of Design Sciences. I am responsible for the valorisation portfolio of Antwerp Design Factory (research group Product Development) which has 3 verticals: Healthcare, Maritime and Sport application. I am focussing on bringing products developed by researchers to the market. Projects that I have coordinated: - Smart Docking; - Drone-based automated oil spill detection; - Smart bollards; - Water sensors; - AI inspections (roads, maritime infrastructure) - Water emission inventaris; - Monitoring invasive species (impact of ballast water); - Estuarium management.

SafeTrawl.
Abstract
This project focuses on reducing the risk of capsize in beam trawlers through an innovative electronic system. The system continuously measures the vessel's angle of heel and provides visual and audible warnings when the angle of heel increases. When a critical limit is reached, the system blocks the winch to prevent the vessel from capsizing while hauling in the nets. The limit values are calculated based on the initial stability of the vessel. The slope angle is also clearly displayed on the bridge and logged for near miss analysis and stability assessment.Researcher(s)
