Curricum Vitae

Environmental issues are very important for me, both in my professional and personal life. I try to live in an environmentally responsible way and also in my work I want to contribute to a better environment. A Ph.D. in electrical engineering, a MSc in energy and environmental sciences and experience in research and teaching in both fields, give me unique qualities for analysing and modelling of (environmental/electrical) systems and data as well as for lecturing those subjects. I also have some programming experience and like to solve intriguing programming puzzles.
