On the threshold of the new year, just before finalising his study, our student Titus de Haan suffered a fatal accident in Australia.
Titus came to the University of Twente after obtaining his degree in Automotive Engineering at HAN University of Applied Sciences, aiming to improve his theoretical skills. His interest in lightweight constructions directed him to the specialisation Production Technology in the Master’s programme Mechanical Engineering. We got to know Titus as a down-to-earth, enterprising student with excellent teaching qualities. His Master's thesis project at Cato Composites Innovations was close to being finished. He chose for an adventure in Australia before completing his study in Mechanical Engineering. To our regret, Titus was kept from taking this next step in his life.
On behalf of staff and students of the faculty of Engineering Technology, programme of Mechanical Engineering we wish those near to him immense strength to cope with this terrible loss.
