Welcome
Welcome to my website! On several places you are supposed to find some info about me, my work, my hobbies, and... No, I think that's it.
In the navigation bar on the right you find the links to several parts of the website.
If you want to contact me, the contact details are below the navigation bar, if I didn't screw that up at some point...
So, have fun looking around. Questions, remarks or comments on the content or lay out of this website are always appreciated!
If you have some time left, don't forget to take a look at my puzzles website!
Short summary
In short, I nowadays work as a postdoc at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore in the field of Astrophysics. Before, for my PhD, I have been working on numerical cosmological simulations, under the supervision of Joop Schaye. The thesis that resulted from that work can be found on my thesis website. More about my work in general can be found at the Science section of this website. I obtained my Master's degree from Utrecht University, at the Astronomical Institute there. I worked there under the supervision of Henny Lamers on a project about the star cluster population of M51. More about that project and smaller projects I did during my undergraduate studies can be found at the Undergraduate section of the site.
My spare time is/was mainly occupied by the Dutch Youth Association for Astronomy, or in Dutch JongerenWerkGroep voor Sterrenkunde (JWG, in short). More about hobbys in the section about my private life.
