His research concerns the statistical design and analysis of experiments with simulation models, in many scientific disciplines including management science, operations research, and engineering. He was a consultant for several organizations in the USA and Europe, and served on many international editorial boards and scientific committees. He also spent several years in the USA, at universities and private companies.

He received several awards; e.g., in 2008 the Queen of the Netherlands appointed him a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion, and in 2005 the Simulation Society of the international Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS) awarded him the Lifetime Professional Achievement Award (LPAA).

While being an Emeritus Professor, he wrote his book Design and analysis of simulation experiments; second edition, published by Springer in 2015, and he supervised his Ph.D. student Ehsan Mehdad, who defended his thesis in 2015. As an Emeritus Professor, he currently focuses on academic writing about topics covered in his 2015 book, and on reviewing papers--on these topics--that are submitted to international journals and conferences.

He was interviewed by professors Bob Sargent and Jim Wilson in 2012,  at the Winter Simulation Conference in Berlin, discussing his career during one hour:
