Prior to his Ph.D., he studied Environmental Sciences and worked at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands in collaboration with the RIVM (Institute for Public Health and the Environment). He worked as a consultant for the European Federation of Allergy and Airway Diseases Patients Association and further gained experience within the Finnish National Public Health Institute (KTL), the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC), and a local research centre in the Netherlands. He has been a staff member of the EC-JRC in Italy for 4.5 years and from the 1st of March 2008 he will start working for the RIVM. As staff of the EC-JRC he authored the Netherlands’ country chapter of the US NLM’s World Library of toxicology, chemical safety and environmental health. He also drafted two chapters for the forthcoming new edition of the US Information Resources in Toxicology comprising information on toxicity testing methods. His research activities have included the development of tools for human exposure and risk characterization, the harmonization of exposure modeling tools, the setting up of consumer exposure assessment guidelines and regulatory compliance criteria, and the development, evaluation, and training of scenario based exposure assessments related to substance releases. As contractual staff member of the European Commission, he has been involved in the new European Union’s Chemicals Legislation REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of CHemicals) through the development and review of Technical Guidance Documents produced within the frame of REACH Implementation Projects. He participated to the REACH training organized by the European Chemicals Bureau during 2006-2007 during which the different REACH processes, tools, and methodologies were educated. As part of the REACH training, he delivered training in Risk Management Measures and communication throughout the supply chain. Since the 1st of August 2007, he is the Chairman of International Society of Exposure Analysis’s Distinguished Lecturer Committee (DLC), aiming at the setting up of a global network of expertise and realizing training and education to further evolve the science of exposure and risk. He is (co)author of peer-reviewed publications, EU-reports, and book chapters comprising topics on exposure assessment, source characterization and apportionment, harmonization of exposure assessment and modeling of (sub)populations, risk management measures for chemicals released from consumer products, and testing methods and toxicity assessment. Since 2008 he is a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology. | | Areas of interest: | | education | | exposure/risk assessment | | |
