He referees regularly journals like (Applied Ergonomics, Ergonomics, International Journal of
Industrial Ergonomics, Ergonomics In Design ), conference articles and research proposals
He is since 2003 a member of the Scientific Committee of the bi-annual INCLUDE conference in London http://www.hhc.rca.ac.uk/
He was coordinator together with his colleague Marijke Dekker of the European Genie project on Gerontechnology from 1998-2001. http://ergonomics.io.tudelft.nl/genie/
Since 2000 his current research focuses on Repetitive Strain Injury RSI www.io.tudelft.nl/rsi and on the usability of ergonomical and 3D-anthropometrical data(3D scanning) for designers
From 2001-2005 he was co-ordinator together with Renate de Bruin from the EU- Friendly Restroom Project (3MEuro), a consortium of 10 institutes and companies from 7 countries.
