Turning weak, distributed signals into reliable physical measurements.
I am an experimental physicist with a PhD from Radboud University. I build precision sensing and reconstruction systems combining detector physics, RF signal processing, sensor fusion and scientific computing.
My doctoral research in the Pierre Auger Collaboration focused on radio interferometry for very inclined cosmic-ray air showers: synchronising detector stations, validating timing, modelling systematics and reconstructing coherent signals across a large array. The same measurement and inference methods transfer naturally to radar, remote sensing and Earth-observation systems.
