I am an assistant professor at Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, where I lead a research group developing advanced biomaterials and human-relevant microphysiological systems. I am also a Weekend Executive MBA candidate at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business (Class of 2027).

I have built my career across several countries, an experience that has shaped how I approach innovation, collaboration and leadership. My research group focuses on designing materials that interact with cells and tissues in a controlled way, with the goal of improving tissue regeneration and creating better lab models that reflect human physiology. I came to Fuqua to strengthen my ability to translate scientific work into sustained impact.
