Bio-Mechanical Design MSc
In the track Biomechanical Design, with electives in mechanics and design, and an exchange semester to Japan.
Creation of Bets Engineering & Education
To replace my part time work at Albert Heijn, I decided to found my own proprietorship with the idea of beginning to use my build up knowledge to consult and actively work on projects within education and / or engineering.
Space Robotics Laboratory in Japan
During my semester in Japan, I worked on the end-effectors of a dual-arm-robot on an air-floating testbed. Here, I created a compliant 3 planer DOF mechanism, ensuring soft contact between chaser and target satellite.
Besides this, I studied the Japanese language, joined an old imperial Kosen-Judo club and made friends from all over the world.
Teaching semester
During the minor phase of my Bachelor, I was able to get a spot in a secondary school to pursue my interest in education. In this period, I took incredible steps in becoming more comfortable in front of groups, presenting and dealing with responsibility. It was surprisingly one of the most intense periods of my Bachelor and I am proud to have finished it with a grade of 9 for my final report.
Mechanical Engineering BSc
A joint degree between the Vrije Universiteit and UT. A study for future engineers, building a broad knowledge base in engineering design, manufacturing, control systems and maintenance. For my Bachelor thesis, I have looked at cooperative adaptive cruise controlled vehicles and set up a mathematical framework supported by simulations to enable close packed autonomous driving on highways. I am happy to say that my thesis got awarded a grade of 8,9 and ended up finishing my Bachelor with an overall grade of 7,7.
