Biography

I studied mechatronics in the Netherlands for my undergrad, and then moved to Bristol to pursue a masters in robotics.

After completing my masters, I worked on self-driving cars at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory before deciding to focus my research on swarm robotics for Mars exploration. My PhD is in this field and am excited to contribute to the development of cutting-edge robotics technology that could help to unlock the secrets of the Red Planet.

Outside of my work in robotics, I'm an avid ultimate frisbee player and enjoy spending time with friends at the pub.
