Bio
‘Those are two life lessons. The first: to recognize how little I know. After MIT, the best technical university in the world, I thought I knew a lot. So, when my supervisor presented me with a problem in my first job, I found it challenging, but not impossible. After three days I delivered the solution. My supervisor disproved it within 30 seconds and I had to get started to work on it again without explanation. I had made an assumption that was not relevant to the problem. That is how I learned that you need book knowledge, but also experience. Since then I have great respect for the 'old timers' in the profession and the complexity of nature.
The second lesson, two years later with the same employer, is about the luck factor in success. Before testing an airplane wing to show that a damaged structure in the air does not break, I had to think of the damage locations. In order to outline the worst scenario, I did that quite aggressively. My supervisor asked: are you sure of your analyses? Yes, I was absolutely. The test was very exciting, but the wing was fine. ‘Was lucky', my supervisor thought. I did not think so, because I had everything well prepared. In retrospect, I understand: you can scale up something well thought over from concept to reality, but there is always a factor of luck. I kept the shirt that I wore that day as a reminder of that.’
