About

I always find it a bit akward to write these things. It's hard to write for an audience as general as The Internet, but I'll give it a go.

Me

A portrait of me.

Hi! I'm a PhD candidate in the Formal Methods and Tools (FMT) group at the University of Twente, where I started in 2024. My research is all about how we can better represent and work with knowledge in the context of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) (intelligent systems where software and physical components work together). I'm part of the ZORRO project (zorro-project.nl), which focuses on making these systems more reliable and secure using formal methods.

You can learn about my education, internships and working experience in my resume.

The "Real" Me

A picture of me and a friend (Peter) in Victoria Bay, Hong Kong I love travelling. I love meeting with friends over cheap coffee in small cafés. I love smokey bars with sticky tables, low music and good company. I love going to concerts and festivals. I love networking drinks and conferences. I love spending entire weekends and sleepless nights on projects.
I'm sorry if some of these seem contradictory. Rest assured -- they are not.

Proudly European! Dutch, more specifically. Born and raised, but always with an outward glance. I've been surrounding myself with an international crowd since I started my studies (seven years ago, if you recall) and I'm addicted to inter-cultural exchange and collaboration. I have been lucky enough to meet the most amazing people across the continent and beyond. I miss you all dearly. But I will see you soon!

You may have noticed the minimal styling on this personal webpage. It's not that I couldn't fill it with fancy animations and hyper-modern UX-design, but I don't think that is quite necessary. This website uses semantic HTML for your browser's convenience, which hopefully also makes the pages more accessible.
