     He received the award for his hard work as a volunteer for various organizations, including the IEEE EMC Society and the conference steering committees for EMC Zurich, Asia Pacific EMC (APEMC) and EMC Europe. The award also recognized his service to professional organizations in the field of EMC in the Netherlands and abroad.
     The Order of Orange-Nassau (Dutch: Orde van Oranje-Nassau) is a military and civil order of the Netherlands which was created on 4 April 1892 by the Queen regent Emma of the Netherlands, acting on behalf of her under-age daughter Queen Wilhelmina. The Order is a chivalry order open to “everyone who has earned special merits for society”. These are people who deserve appreciation and recognition from society for the special way in which they have carried out their activities. The order is comparable with the Order of the British Empire in the UK.
