Institution: ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Position: PhD Student
Master Degree: Food Technology – Ingredient functionality, Wageningen University, the Netherlands
Summary information:
I’m from the Netherlands. I got my Master’s degree in Food Technology at Wageningen University in 2019. In my Master’s program I focused on the physics and physical chemistry of food systems. During my MSc. thesis I investigated colloidal gelation of protein particles, where I discovered my excitement for colloids and non-equilibrium phenomena. In my current research I’m focusing on active colloids confined at complex liquid-liquid interfaces.
Research interests:
Active colloids confined at complex liquid-liquid interfaces.
