Your scientific background/interests
I studied Life Science & Technology at TU Delft with a specialization in bioprocess engineering. I am particularly interested in applying computational approaches to tackle challenges in bioprocessing.
Your role in the CAARE project
In CAARE, my research topic is ‘Multisensory in-line PAT in DSP for in silico model-based process monitoring and control.’ This means coming years I will focus on the development of process analytical technologies that we can use to monitor virus-like particle integrity during downstream processing.
A hobby or interest outside of science
Outside of work I enjoy doing sports like running, cycling and field hockey as well as go out for food/drinks with friends.
Your favourite quote
If at first you don’t succeed, pipette again 🙂
Your spirit animal and why
The penguin is my spirit animal because it’s built for problem-solving. They couldn’t fly so they learned how to slide and swim instead!
My favorite lab gadget
The 96-well plate, I love games, and this is the ultimate memory test.
