I'm Assistant Professor at TU Delft | Reactor Institute, where I focus my research on the use of radionuclides in medical applications. As such, I am driven to (1) develop innovative production and separation routes for medical radioisotopes, (2) investigate their application as radiotherapeutic agents against various diseases, and (3) apply radiotracers to better understand mineral behavior in complex systems. Next to my research, I’m enthusiastic about teaching: supervising students, lecturing in several courses in the Chemical Engineering and Applied Physics BSc and MSc curricula, as well as developing freely accessible online open courses.

​

Prior to starting at Delft University of Technology, I completed my Postdoc at Argonne National Laboratory, USA, where I focused my research on radionuclide production and separation. During my PhD thesis, I investigated the use of nanocarriers for (Ac-225)-targeted alpha therapy.

 

I currently serve in the board of the NKRV (Dutch Society for Clinical Radiochemistry), the board of the TU Delft employee society Prometheus, and the Board of Studies of the bachelor Molecular Science and Technology.
