About

I am a BSc student in Mathematics and in Computer Science at Radboud University. I also enjoy Physics courses, which for now will remain part of a minor. This website is primarily dedicated to professional study-related topics; you can scroll down to find my education, extracurricular experience, course summaries and projects. I also use this website to export some of my pastimes, such as drawing & painting.
