I obtained my BSc (2008), MSc (2010), and PhD (2014) in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy of the University of Amsterdam. Following my PhD I remained in Amsterdam for a PostDoc of one year. In January 2016 I obtained a 3 year research fellowship from the European Space Agency, and was based at ESA’s European Space Astronomy Centre near Madrid. From January 2019 to October 2021 I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at IAASARS, working on the ASSESS project. Currently I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Astronomy of KU Leuven, working on the MAESTRO project.
