Paul van de Loo

B.E. Mech, MSME(Stanford), Technical Director

"Dad, if we fly like this we can get out of here!"

After founding the company ("I had to, to get some interesting jobs") in 1993 Paul discovered a way of spending the money and keeping everyone overworked with engineering developments such as a solar micro-cogeneration system with a unique heat engine - www.cogenmicro.com/. On weekends he spends time cutting the blackberries on his patch in the hills so the kangaroos can get a feed. Paul also serves as a member of the National Committee on Engineering Design, a committee of Engineers Australia. Prior to starting Applidyne, Paul was an engineer at Vision Abell (part of Vision Systems). Before that, he was at Stanford University gaining a masters degree. His first job was in the Advanced Engineering Laboratory at DSTO (Department of Defence) where he designed automated test equipment for F-111 flight control servo valves.
