      -
      Bachelor of Science - BS Advanced Technology

    • University of Twente

      2019 - 2022
      Master of Science - MS Sustainable Energy Technology

      • Sustainable technologies were discussed, and how to implement these within the energy transition and societal response. The courses varied from Energy Storage to Life Cycle Strategy, and from Solar Energy to Business Models for Sustainable Energy. • Internship: At MECAL, a wind turbine and tower engineering consultancy firm.

The courses varied from Energy Storage to Life Cycle Strategy, and from Solar Energy to Business Models for Sustainable Energy. • Internship: At MECAL, a wind turbine and tower engineering consultancy firm. I researched the feasibility of damage tolerant design within wind turbine tower design. • Master’s thesis: Research and design of a novel magnetocaloric refrigeration system. This required me to critically evaluate literature and implement theory into the design of a working prototype. Next to the technological aspect, considerations of regulations, safety, budget, and time management were required. Show less
