Assistant Professor

About Me

I started my Tenure Track position at the University of Twente in 2020. My interdisciplinary research group currently consists of researchers with a background in Chemistry, Chemical engineering, Computational physics and Mathematics. Together we develop a crucial experimental stepping stone to gear current design efforts in chemical reaction networks (CRNs)—interconnected webs of chemical reactions—into the direction of neuromorphic systems. For more information, please visit my group website: Chemical Reaction Networks @ UT.

Research

Our goal is to create specialized chemical computers, using chemical reaction networks (CRNs). Molecules are inherently dynamic in nature and, therefore, are an obvious choice for creating intelligent systems that may sense, adapt, and learn. We aim to provide a foundation for the development of fundamentally different hardware and software architectures, based on non-binary, non-linear, and non-electric properties intrinsic to networks of chemical reactions.
