I received my master’s degree in Technical Medicine (TM) with a specialization in Medical Imaging and Interventions (MII) at the University of Twente. Following my studies, I started working as a junior researcher and 3D specialist at OCON centre for orthopedic surgery in Hengelo. In 2022, I started my PhD research at the Biomedical Device Design and Production Group as an external member. The focus of my research is the evaluation and optimization of the use of 3D technologies in orthopedic wrist surgery.
