As cabin air quality specialist I have been involved in leading internal development projects, covering current and future programmes, as well as external research projects concerning the cabin environment and health and comfort issues. I have additionally been focal point for cabin air quality standards and guideline committees and have been involved in preparing strategy documents for these subjects.
I have served on standards committees preparing cabin air quality standards, both in the US (member of ASHRAE SPC161) and EC (CabinAir in association with AECMA-STAN draft prEN4618). These committees involved negotiations with airworthiness authorities, other aircraft manufacturers, airlines, crew unions and equipment suppliers.

For my work on the combined converter I won a 2005 Airbus Corporate Award for Excellence (Customer Focus).
