Van Schaik received the MSc degree in electrical engineering from the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, in 1990, and his PhD degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1998.

Career

As an undergraduate student, Van Schaik was an intern at the Institute for Microelectronics Stuttgart, where he researched limits to the fault tolerance of feedforward neural networks, which led to a widely cited scientific publication.

After completing his MSc he worked as an engineer at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology, where he designed a neuromorphic optical motion-tracking chip for the Logitech TrackMan Marble, which came on the market in 1994; as of 2023 that device is still sold, still with his original chip design, nearly 30 years old.

In 1994 he started his PhD research in the MANTRA Centre for Neuro-Mimetic Systems at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland under supervision of Eric Vittoz, a pioneer of low-power VLSI and co-developer of the EKV MOSFET model, and in close collaboration with Ray Meddis, who was an expert in computer simulation of the auditory pathway. His thesis is titled "Analogue VLSI building blocks for an electronic auditory pathway" led to a journal article with Meddis.

In 1998 he joined Simon Carlile's laboratory in the Department of Physiology at the University of Sydney as a postdoctoral research fellow, where he collaborated on the development of spatial audio over headphones, termed virtual auditory space.

In 1999 he joined the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at the University of Sydney as a senior lecturer, where he started the Computing and Audio Research Laboratory, together with Craig Jin. He was promoted to Reader in 2004. In 2003 he was awarded an Australian Research Council ARC Research Fellowship followed by an ARC Queen Elisabeth II Research Fellowship in 2008.

In 2011 he became a research professor at Western Sydney University and leader of the Biomedical Engineering and Neuromorphic Systems (BENS) Research Program in the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour, and Development.

In September 1992, Interavia was the leader of the aerospace press with a magazine circulation of 42,602 as French press group :fr:Le Revenu bought it from Jane's Information Group, a Thomson Corporation subsidiary at the time.
It was to merge by October with monthly Aerospace World (circulation: 31,500) as Le Revenu also published Air & Cosmos (41,509) and Aéronautique et Astronautique (6,000), controlling 30% of the aerospace publications market with a ₣300 million revenue.

JetLev. The JetLev  is a water-propelled jet pack powered through a floater derived from jetski technology attached through an umbilical to the backpack which contains two nozzles and two control arms, in a configuration like traditional rocket belts and gas turbine jet belts. The JetLev also functions underwater, allowing users to dive into the water and jet back out. The jetpack can allow users to fly up to  above the water. It was created by  Chinese Canadian, Raymond Li. JetLev became the first practical amateur-usable jet pack, and first with practical usable duration. The JetLev technology jetpack became the first commercially released jetpack in 2009. It was initially offered for sale for US$100,000, however with much cheaper competitors coming on the market afterwards, inspired by the original JetLev, such as the Flyboard, prices rapidly dropped, with cheaper models.

History
Raymond Li started working on the concept in 2000. By 2003, he was seeking funding to keep developing the concept. He received a grant from the National Research Council of Canada. The prototype jetpack attached to a jetski, first flew manned in 2004. In 2005, Li moved part-time to Fort Lauderdale on a temporary work visa to continue development with assistance from jetski experts. Hydroflight patents were issued to Raymond Li in 2008, and passed to the holding company JetLev Intellectual Property. Investors started calling Li in 2008. JetLev sued the makers of Flyboard, Jetovator, and manufacturers of other hydrojetpacks for patent infringement, starting in 2012. The intellectual property was bought by Zapata Industries, the maker of Flyboard, in 2016, consolidating the leading market hydroflight jetpacks in one company.
Hydrojetpacks have raised concerns over safety and the need for regulations, since they started coming onto the market and into resorts. Jetpack Adventures in Australia was the first business to adapt the technology for use in the hire industry in the southern hemisphere in 2012. Located in Australia the company brought wide scale hire activities within Australia.

Radiochromic film. Radiochromic film is a type of self-developing film typically used in the testing and characterisation of radiographic equipment such as CT scanners and radiotherapy linacs. The film contains a dye which changes colour when exposed to ionising radiation, allowing the level of exposure and beam profile to be characterised. Unlike x-ray film no developing process is required and results can be obtained almost instantly, while it is insensitive to visible light (making handling easier).

Mechanism
For medical dosimetry "gafchromic dosimetry film (...) is arguably the most widely used commercial product". Several types of gafchromic film are marketed with differing properties. One type, MD-55, is made up of layers of polyester substrate with active emulsion layers adhered (approximately 16μm thick). The active layer consists of polycrystalline, substituted-diacetylene and the colour change occurs due to "progressive 1,4-trans additions as polyconjugations along the ladder-like polymer chains".

Usage
Radiochromic films have been in general use since the late 1960s, although the general principle has been known about since the 19th century.

Profiling
Radiochromic film can provide high spatial resolution information about the distribution of radiation. Depending on the scanning technique, sub-millimetre resolution can be achieved.

Dosimetry
Unlike many other types of radiation detector, radiochromic film can be used for absolute dosimetry where information about absorbed dose is obtained directly. It is typically scanned, for example using a standard flat bed scanner, to provide accurate quantification of the optical density and therefore degree of exposure. Gafchromic film has been shown to provide measurements accurate to 2% over doses of 0.2–100 Gray (Gy).
