Biography

I am a reliable, curious and practical Electrical Engineer with a keen eye for programming and a strong background in linear algebra. After having completed my MSc. in the Signals and Systems track, I became a PhD researcher at the Erasmus MC working on imaging blood motion in the brain using Doppler ultrasound.

It is my hope during my PhD, to advance the field of Doppler ultrasound using advanced signal processing techniques. My work at the Erasmus MC is done in close collaboration with the Circuits and Systems group at the TU-Delft, and a group of talented neuroscientists at the Erasmus MC.

Experience

Erasmus MC

PhD Candidate
2019 – Present
I am a PhD Candidate at the department of Neuroscience at the Erasmus MC, working on applying signal processing techniques to the field of Doppler ultrasound imaging of the brain.

MSc Thesis
2018 – 2019
My thesis titled “Improving ultra-fast Doppler imaging using advanced signal processing” is a collaborative effort between the Circuits and Systems Group from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) at the Delft University of Technology and the Neuroscience department at the Erasmus MC.

Python Course Teacher
Jan 2018
Planned and taught part of an intensive 3 day Python course at the Erasmus MC. The intention of the course was to prepare students of the Molecular Medicine postgraduate school to use Python to analyse and process data.

Research Intern
Sep 2017 – Dec 2017
I worked on the setup of a new ultrasound acquisition ecosystem used for Doppler imaging of the brain. Using Python and MATLAB, I developed tools to help the neuroscientists better interpret the ultrasound data.

Croon

Sustainable Innovation Intern
2015 – Feb 2016
For my final year internship of my BSc. Electrical Engineering I worked at the research and development branch of Croon Elektrotechniek. During this time I investigated the viability of implementing smart energy solutions such as smart grids, localized energy storage, and sustainable energy generation.
