I obtained my Bsc. degree in Medical Sciences and Technology at TU/e in September 2018 after finishing my final project in the group of prof. dr. Meijer on optimizing the RAFT polymerization of pentafluorophenyl acrylate for Single Chain Polymeric Nanoparticle applications. I completed my master Biomedical Engineering at TU/e in 2020 where I did my graduation project in the group of prof. dr. Meijer on exploring and unraveling the supramolecular assembly of end-functionalized discrete siloxane block molecules. After my graduation project, I did an internship at Radboud University in Nijmegen in the group of dr. ir. Peter Korevaar where I worked on an out-of-equilibrium surfactant system by incorporating a dissipative component and investigating the self-assembly process. I rejoined the Meijer group in February 2021 as a PhD student where I will focus on the topic of combining covalent and noncovalent chemistry in obtaining higher degrees of molecular complexity.
