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."
“Met veel plezier deel ik mijn ervaringen op het gebied van grondkerende constructies, bouwputten en inbrengmethoden bij de opleiding Grondmechanica en funderingstechniek 2 (CGF-2). Het is geweldig om geotechnische aspecten begrijpelijk te maken en te zien bij de leerlingen hoe het kwartje valt. Elke les is anders, elke leerling uniek. Dat houdt me scherp en betrokken.”
“Betrouwbaar schadeonderzoek gaat veel verder dan het nadenken over mogelijke oorzaken.”
