Welcome to my personal site! It is mostly a placeholder for various projects of mine.
February 2016 – August 2019
I continued my research activities at University College Cork in Ireland at the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre, where I investigated the role of bacteriophages threatening the process stability of the Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative (MELiSSa) artificial ecosystem.
2012-2015
I pursued a Master in Life Science & Technology at TU Delft in the Netherlands, where I did my master thesis research on modelling yeast metabolism in the Cell System Engineering group. See:

2008-2012
I pursued a Bachelor in Life Science & Technology at TU Delft, where I did my bachelor thesis research on pentose sugar transporters in genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae at the Industrial Microbiology group.
