Johan Boot’s Experience
-
Controls Engineer
Moog
(Public Company; MOG.A, MOG.B; Aviation & Aerospace industry)
March 2008 — Present (1 year 5 months)
Implementation of wafer handling applications and development of new control technology.
-
Control Systems Engineer
ASML
(Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; Semiconductors industry)
June 2005 — October 2007 (2 years 5 months)
As a control systems engineer I worked on improving accuracy and operation speed of the positioning of a lithographic stage. Main tasks involved real-time feed-forward design and improving models and diagnostic tools.
Main complication in real-time feedfoward are the inherent processing time delays similar to those in feed-back systems. A proper choice of tuning will only act at performance critical frequencies with a minimum of disturbance amplification and enough safety margins to prevent cross-talk stability problems. -
Intern
ADSE
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Aviation & Aerospace industry)
March 2004 — March 2005 (1 year 1 month)
I designed different models and control strategies for a 4 wheel driven and 4 wheel steered autonomous guided vehicle during this internship related to my Master's Thesis. The main challenges are related to tyre, velocity and steering non-linearities. Controlling the force on each individual tire accurately is essential to solve the overactuated problem, create optimal vehicle-driver interaction, and to prevent uncontrolled slip.
Johan Boot’s Education
-
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
MSc & BSc , Mechanical Engineering , 1999 — 2005
Graduated Cum Laude in the Control Systems Engineering research group within the Mechanical Engineering department. The Master's Thesis explains the dynamic modelling and controller design for a 4WD/4WS autonomous guided vehicle. Completed Master's courses are related to mechatonics, control, dynamics, precision mechanical design and optimization techniques.
- Activities and Societies:
- Organized a space technology symposium, researched Active Noise Control at the University of California in San Diego, worked as a TA for the course Digital Motion Control, wrote a frequently used educational aid summarizing closed loop frequency response measurement techniques and participated in award winning team during a nationwide student engineering competition.
