Background

Summary

I'm a student at Eindhoven University of Technology with an interest in computer science and linguistics, and the combination of the two. On the side I work and have worked as a teaching assistant and in jobs related to the promotion of science and education, for instance in the organization of the RoboCup world championship 2013. Currently I am organizing math-related project days at Dutch high schools and a member of our university's promotion team.

A special interest of mine are the internal politics of our university. I have been in the departmental council since januari 2013, and in summer 2014 I will join the university council.

Eindhoven University of Technology

Bachelor of Science (BSc), Computer Science / Technische Informatica

I got my Bachelor's degree in computer science at Eindhoven University of Technology. I picked my courses as broad as possible, and studied both subjects traditionally covered by Computer Sciences, like data structures, algorithms, software engineering and automata theory, as well as more user-focused courses like psychology and user interaction, sociology and consumer behavior, that are specifically developed for computer scientists in the modern information-driven society.

Minor, Linguistics

I chose to do a minor in linguistics, as my interests are broader than the field of computer sciences alone. Apart from being interested in the concept of languages, I specifically like the similarities and purposes shared with computer sciences, for instance in automatic language processing.

Johan de Witt-gymnasium

VWO / Gymnasium, Natuur en Techniek

Gymnasium is the highest possible level of high school in The Netherlands. I graduated with exams in Dutch, English, Latin, physics, chemistry, economics, regular mathematics (B), extended mathematics (D) etcetera.
