Overview Research Contact
I am a Dutch/British/Swiss citizen studying for my PhD at the Integrated Devices and Systems department.
My current research is in fabricating thermal flow meters in commercial CMOS.
I graduated the Univertsity of St. Andrews in materials chemistry with honours and the KTH royal institute of technology in engineering physics with a focus on nanoelectronics. I did my thesis work on making ferroelectric MIM-capacitors using ALD Hafnia.
In my free time I run, do yoga, and play saxophone in several bands. I consider myself a chinese tea buff and like to do tea ceremonies with people.
