To measure is to know (att mäta är att veta)

I am a researcher at the Linköping University who has moved to Sweden one and a half years ago. Originally, I am from the Netherlands where I also did my studies.

I have always been very curious, and as a young child I always wanted to find out why things are like they are. This has eventually led me to become a researcher in material science, on the border between chemistry and physics.

Now in Norrköping, I study new materials that will eventually find applications in biology-inspired computers. A typical example is the computer chip that works just like your brain does, learning things by doing and forgetting things you haven’t used in a while.

A special material is needed for these computer chips, and that is where my work comes in. To make the ultimate material, we need to understand it first. Every day I try to understand better how these materials function, and I love doing so!
