From July-September 2024 I was a Museum Guest Scholar at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles (USA). In 2023/24 I am Migelien Gerritzen Fellow at the Rijksmuseum. I am also affiliated with the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and Fellow at the eScience Center. I obtained my PhD from Leiden University, The Netherlands in May 2024. My PhD project on Computed Tomography (CT) scanning for Cultural Heritage Research was part of the Impact4Art project at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In 2022, I was a guest researcher at the British Museum. Over the last years, I have had the opportunity to work with colleagues at CWI and Rijksmuseum. I enjoy these collaborations and the interdisciplinary character of my research. My work is a combination of technical investigations into tailoring X-ray imaging techniques to the specific requirements of scanning cultural heritage and scanning and investigating case studies with collaborators at the museum. Next to mathematics and computer science I am interested in Science Communication, which I studied during my Masters’ Specialisation at Leiden University.
