I have been working with acoustics since I was eight years old, namely exciting structures that then radiate sound waves. That is, I play percussion, and this is where my interest in acoustics began. Today, I focus mainly on numerical acoustics, vibro-acoustics, and dynamic analysis.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in collaboration with ASML, building on the EngD I completed in November 2025. My work centres on developing numerical tools for acoustic analysis, with a particular emphasis on substructuring techniques. Alongside this, I also work with students on projects involving the modelling of musical instruments.

My current PhD, carried out in collaboration with ASML, focuses on developing tools for acoustic substructuring. It is a continuation of my EngD project (completed November 2025), in which we developed the initial tools. During the PhD we are extending them further, working on topics such as nonlinear eigenvalue problems, optimal reduction bases, and efficient interface descriptions. Throughout my PhD and EngD, I am supervised by Ysbrand Wijnant.
Alongside my main research, I also work on projects involving the modelling of musical instruments. For example, we modelled a triangle.
Earlier, I graduated from my master’s in Industrial Design Engineering in November 2023, with a graduation project at Peutz supervised by Ysbrand Wijnant, where I used FEM to determine the insertion loss of balconies under road traffic noise. I have also carried out numerical acoustic analyses for projects in collaboration with Peutz.
