About

I am an enthusiastic student who is motivated by challenges. My main interest lies in innovation projects with a great societal impact towards the energy transition and climate. I love being on stage for public speaking or playing classical music on my beloved guitar. I enjoy riding my bike on long rides through nature and to challenge myself to ride up the biggest mountains I can find. My mission is to become a world leading scientist whilst taking all the opportunities I can get to better the world we live in. Either doing it by mobilising young scientists to make an impact in the aviation industry, or by my own research activities in to renewable energy in the extreme -, and complex terrain, so that I will not be the last generation to enjoy my hobbies carefree.
