I am employed by TNO, a not for profit Dutch
Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, working in the department of Human Performance
in Soesterberg. In addition I am holding a
chair in Vestibular Motion and Attitude Perception
as an endowed professor at the Faculty of Behavioural
and Movement Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit in
Amsterdam.
