Rudy has been and still is involved in a number of deep-sea related projects, in EXHADERO3D, JPI-Oceans Mining Impact II, currently he is the project coordinator of Blue Harvesting (EIT Raw Materials upscaling project) and PLUMEFLOC (Dutch Research Council). With a solid background in mechanical engineering and fluid mechanics, he has been most active in applied research for the dredging and offshore mining industry, mostly at the interface of the equipment, water and seabed. As an assistant professor in offshore and dredging engineering, he is responsible for education and research related to subsea engineering and deep-sea mining. As of 2017, Rudy moved to the Maritime and Transport Technology department at 3ME, TU Delft in the research group of Dredging Engineering.
Rudy started his professional career as a research engineer for soil-tool-water interactions at IHC MTI, the research department of Royal IHC, while simultaneously pursuing a PhD.In 2017, he defended his PhD research ‘cum laude’ on the topic of rock excavation under water for deep-sea mining, drilling and dredging applications. At the same time, Rudy is appointed as an assistant professor for Offshore and Dredging Engineering at TU Delft. As of 2021, Rudy started as adjunct associate professor for deep sea mining at in the Mineral Processing and HSE group at NTNU.
