From January 1964 to February 1968 he worked at Utrecht University (Netherlands) and the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) as a post graduate on the determination of the molecular structures of methoxy-ethyn and methylthio-ethyn by microwave spectroscopy. On February 28, 1968 he got his PhD. at the University of Utrecht (Supervisors: Professor Dr. D.H.W. den Boer and Professor C. Th. J. Alkemade). Title of his thesis (in Dutch) was: Investigation of the microwave spectra of methoxy ethyn and methylthio ethyn. From 1968 to 1977 he worked in Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven (Netherlands). His first research subject was studying multi-molecular layers of fatty acids and luminescent materials on semiconductor surfaces. The aim was to develop a molecular memory device. Various papers were published on the preparation and analyses of these layers. The next research subject was synthesizing and characterizing super-ionic conductors for batteries and fuel cells.From 1977 to 1998 he worked largely on CRT-technology in the Development Laboratory for CRTs of Philips Display Components in Eindhoven.

At the end of the 1980s he was involved in the development of spiral guns and interference filters for projection tubes that had the highest resolution and light output at that time. A pilot factory for manufacturing those tubes was built in the USA.In the 1990s he led the development of improved CRT phosphors, pigments for color filters, shadow mask technology (a/o. tension mask technology) and screen processes. He initiated many R&D and advanced development projects in these areas, e.g. a project on new photosensitive compounds with enhanced sensitivity for patterning phosphors and the black matrix. Regarding the industrial development of color filters and tension masks, he set up a kind of cooperation between Philips Display Components in Eindhoven and Toshiba and Sony in Japan respectively.From 1998 to 2004 he initiated and participated in projects on field emission and electroluminescence displays respectively. Contacts and cooperation agreements with many companies were created, e.g. with PFE in the UK, Motorola in the USA, Hitachi, Toshiba and Noritake in Japan and iFire in Canada.From 1998-2004 he was responsible for the co-operation between Philips Display Components and Southeast University (SEU) in Nanjing (China) in the areas of Field Emission Displays, electron optics for electron guns, deflection coils, visual perception and metrology for Flat Panel Displays. At SEU and at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in Chengdu (China) he was nominated in 2001as visiting professor and he regularly gave seminars and courses on display technology for graduate & postdoc students and staff members. He was nominated as Fellow of the SID in 2002 and received the Innovation Award of Philips Display Components in the same year.
