- Bsc. Mechanical Engineering, TU Delft
- Msc. Systems & Control, TU Delft
During my Master Thesis project, I aim to apply my knowledge on estimation and filtering to the field of ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM). The goal of my project is to develop a method to better assess blood flow in the microvasculature.
In my free time, I like to go outdoors or to the bouldering gym! Besides that, I'm always up for a coffee!
