# Online series #hightechhero - Herman Peek of Teledyne Dalsa

News | Aug 14, 2019 2:24:00 PM | By Ingelou Stol

[← Return to overview](https://hightechcampus.com/news)

Herman has been working on the Campus for 55 years (!) and is therefore the oldest Campus resident ever! This month he will retire at the age of 77.

‘I started working for Philips on the Campus when it was still called ‘Natlab’. Everyone was wearing white lab coats, we were allowed to experiment without making accountables to managers in forward; for me as a technologist it was paradise. Now the Campus has changed significantly (a lot more companies and buildings) and I think that’s great. 

When I look back on my career, my greatest memory is winning the Gilles Holst Award in 1997, for my contribution to science and realizing breakthroughs in CCD chip (image sensor) technology. From 2002 I worked as a consultant and advisor for technological issues for CCD and CMOS imagers at Teledyne Dalsa. Even though I am 77 years old, I’m not even sure if I want to retire. This work makes me enormously happy.’
