All PAOTM teachers work and think at the intersection of theory and practice. This means that they are both expert and innovator. Our teachers are specialists who want to pass on their state of the art expertise to the course participants. They come from both science and businesses. Our teachers want to contribute to the spreading of state of the art academic knowledge by teaching postgraduate courses.
"Fracture mechanics is a specialty, but applied fracture mechanics can only be mastered by bringing together all relevant disciplines: from structural engineering and materials science to welding technology, reliability, and non-destructive testing techniques. It is precisely this multidisciplinary perspective that enables us not only to understand cracks but also to control them."
“In geotechnical engineering, everything revolves around gaining insight into opportunities and risks. With a little feel for soil behavior, many geotechnical challenges can be kept well under control. In my courses, I strive to awaken that feel for soil. For instance, I like to offer my students the opportunity to recognize expected soil behavior in a timely manner, so that the right actions can be taken accordingly.”
“How do you integrate a program within a project organization and what does this mean for processes, routines and collaboration? We will discuss this topic from a scientific perspective and discuss programmatic collaboration.”
“I'll tell you everything you need to know about groundwater models around flood defenses.”
“For me, teaching means sharing knowledge and passion, inspiring and fascinating people through the application of statistics.”
“It gives me great pleasure to share my geotechnical knowledge.”
“Fatigue is one of the main causes of collapse. With this course you will learn the background of fatigue and how to deal with it. A good basis to avoid unpleasant surprises.”
“If sailing is your passion and the hydraulics of waterways is your profession, then the PAOTM course is a wonderful opportunity to transfer your knowledge and practical experiences about inland shipping and waterways to an interested audience, because as the slogan says:
'Water transport is the right way.'”
“I enjoy helping people to develop themselves and familiarizing them with project management, thereby ensuring that projects in the Netherlands run more smoothly.”
