Research
Showing the connection between isolated spin systems

Biography
At the University of Leiden I received my Bachelors degree in Biopharmaceutical Sciences (2014), followed by a Masters degree in Medicinal Chemistry (2016), both with distinction. This was followed by a 5-year PhD in the group of Gregory Schneider and Hermen Overkleeft, concerning the synthetic, physical and computational chemistry of non-planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. I started as a Research Associate in the group in January 2022, with the aim of developing pulse programs capable of showing the adjacency of isolated spin systems.
