I co-founded this hi-tech company in 2019. We focus in the characterization of nanoparticles using novel optical techniques. We started as a spinout from a Dutch university and we are currently innovating on our own products.
I self-published this book in an attempt to help scientists struggling with instrumentation. The core message revolves around best-practices accumulated over more then 10 years. The book is currently used in several university classes around the world.
A major achievement was to develop a method to measure temperature in extremely small scales. My thesis focused on studying the luminescence properties of gold nanoparticles under different conditions.
I am always open to discussing exciting opportunities and challenges. Do you have an idea and you need a sparring partner? Do you need advice on your next big startup? Or you just want to have a chat?
I am a scientist and an entrepreneur. I launched a high-tech company based on research done at the University of Leiden. Developed both products and the business, focusing on extracellular vesicles.
After completing my PhD, I began looking for alternative careers. I started my own project developing software and organizing workshops. I joined an incubator and learned what it takes to get started in the challenging world of scientific entrepreneurship.
I am an avid learner, I like exploring ideas, building teams, and finding solutions to complex problems.
