M.m. Van Paassen

Biography

René van Paassen obtained his M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, in 1988. At that same institution he received his Ph.D. with a thesis on the neuromuscular system of the pilot’s arm, in 1994. Subsequently, he spent two years as a Postdoctoral Fellow (Brite/EuRam Research Fellow) with the University of Kassel, Kassel, Germany, with Prof. Gunnar Johannsen, where he worked on the development of alternative interfaces for process control based on functional models of the process, and half a year with the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark, where he worked with prof. Morten Lind on multilevel flow modeling in the RoHMI project. He returned to Delft in 1997, working on alarm management, modelling of harbor pilots (at Mechanical Engineering with Prof. Peter Wieringa), vestibular system modelling (TNO Soesterberg and Aerospace Engineering, Delft) and simulation architecture (SIMULTAAN project, Aerospace Engineering).
