I am an academic technologist.

Open hardware

In my research, I use open source for making more accessible and reproducible scientific equipment. Check the nanoEPics website to learn more about my research and the Lili’s ProtoLab to get started with prototyping.

Climate Action

My interdisciplinary work is dedicated to climate action from a system’s perspective. I am the Open Science Lead at the Netherlands Climate Research Initiative. Previously, I have been a founding board member for the Climate Helpdesk.​

Science Policy

As a board member of the Young Academy of KNAW, I advocate for a more inclusive academic system and better conditions for early career researchers.

My rebellion is to set a stronger innovation policy for the common good.

Academic role

I am a associate professor (part-time ) at the Physics department of Utrecht University. I am also a board-member of KNAW De Jonge Akademie and a fellow at the Center for Unusual Collaborations.

Next to my research activities, I sometimes make podcasts.
