Introducing Lucas

I earned my Master of Science in applied physics from Delft University of Technology. After spending 12.5 years as a patent attorney at Royal Dutch Shell I joined EP&C in 2021.  I am part of the high-tech team, specializing in areas like lithography, AI, quantum computing, drilling technology, LNG, gasification, and retail. Growing up surrounded by both law and engineering,

I discovered my path as a patent attorney. It’s a legal profession with an economic aspect—helping inventors monetize their ideas. My multinational experience has taught me how patents are used strategically, and my background in quantum physics allows me to explain complex matters clearly to clients.
