In EVA-suits used by astronauts, hand mobility is a common issue, having led to many injuries. We were tasked with improving the glove of the EVA suit, finding our inspiration in nature using the ACCREx method. 

Using nature as a source of inspiration, different concepts were drafted, a final concept and design were worked out and a working principle was built. We completed the course with a grade of 8.5.

I worked on the guidance mechanism subsystem of the next generation of EUV lithography machines, commissioned by ASML. 

I also functioned as one of the system engineers to bring the different subsystems together, and in the end our team of about 20 people was crowned to have the best overall design. 

During my second year, I joined a new robotics team set up by classmates. I contributed in the  the control system design and kinematic analysis of the robot, which now operates at FESTO.

During my second year of study, I was asked to be a Teaching Assistant for new students in the MATLAB course.  I was responsible for creating course content, checking students work and supporting the learning process. 

I helped develop a sustainable energy project: “Making Amsterdam self-sufficient” for the ME bachelor. I was tasked with data collection re-writing of the technical assignment, as well as general organization and student support during the project.

I create learning and practice content for an online tool, helping secondary school students study for physics exams.
