Research

I obtained a BSc and MSc in Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. During my masters I worked on a variety of computational biological topics, such as stochastic and spatial modelling of chemical networks, PDE models and evolutionary algorithms. At the CWI I work in the Biomodeling and Biosystems Analysis group of Roeland Merks. My research focusses on angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels. For this I use a cell-based approach that I want to extend with regulation at the cell level. The aim of this research is to better understand the process of angiogenesis and to identify key players in this process.
