I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Twente (UT). The focus of my work was on the development of structured materials with applications in the field of energy, chemistry, and material sciences. After graduation, I worked as a research assistant in the open innovation hub for antimicrobial surfaces at the surface science research centre, University of Liverpool, United Kingdom. I continued my research career as a research assistant at the Chalmers University of Technology, working in the field of nanofabrication. I joined mesoscale chemical systems at UT as a researcher working in the field of energy, chemistry, material sciences, and health.
