Personal statement:
I graduated from Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) with a degree in Chemistry & Chemical Engineering. For my PhD, I moved to research institute IMO/IMOMEC in Belgium where I was part of the BIOSensors group of prof. Wagner. Part of my research involved the synthesis of synthetic polymeric receptors, while the other part was related to the detection of biomolecules. After finishing my PhD, I continued as a postdoctoral researcher within the same group to develop a novel thermal detection method for measurements of both small molecules and proteins in complex matrices (for instance, human blood plasma or saliva). In 2014, I started working at the organic chemistry group at Queen Mary University of London in order to get experience with ‘natural’ receptors, in this case enzymes.  Mid 2015, I commenced my independent research career as a lecturer in Chemical Biology at Manchester Metropolitan University, which was followed to my move to the School of Engineering at Newcastle University as Senior Lecturer. Here I would like to combine my expertise of thermal detection methods with functionalization strategies of enzymes.
