Jasper Vollbrandt is currently working on his PhD thesis at the department of Maritime and Transport Technology at the Delft University of Technology and the Netherlands Defence Academy of the Dutch Ministry of Defence. His research focuses on dynamic performance of marine internal combustion engines running on natural gas and methanol. After receiving a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Delft University of Technology he worked at the Dutch Ministry of Defence, Command Material and IT, gaining experience in the design and simulation of naval propulsion systems. Before returning to the Delft University of Technology, he fulfilled the role of project engineer hydraulics at Netherlands largest steel mill TATA Steel and was mainly involved in the revamp of the cold mill plant.
Capt (E) Rinze Geertsma currently is associate professor at the Netherlands Defence Academy and research fellow at Delft University of Technology with a research interest in military energy systems. He previously has been Marine Engineering Officer of HNLMS de Ruyter and HNLMS Tromp. Earlier experience includes system and project engineering and innovation roles.
Prof. Andrea Coraddu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology at Delft University of Technology. In 2012, he was awarded a Laurea and a PhD in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Genoa. His research lies at the forefront of the maritime energy transition, delving into the topology design, performance optimization, and control of hybrid and full electric marine energy systems.
