I am a particle physicist working at
Nikhef (Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
My research is focussed, as a member of the
Atlas experiment, on analyzing
proton-proton collissions at the LHC collider at
CERN (Geneva, Switzerland).
As an associate professor at the
University of Amsterdam
I teach (particle) physics to bachelor and master students.
I'm the author of popular science book on particle physics:
'De Melodie van de Natuur' (Atlas Contact , 2018). English translation in 2019.
Starting January 2022 I have been appointed as a professor by special appointment in the physics department of
Leiden University where I will work on (research in) science communication in physics. On June 7th 2024 I held
my
inaugural lecture at Leiden University.
