The Casimir Research School provides useful courses but it is much more than that and it keeps me in touch with wonderful people in other groups at the forefront of science. The contacts with enthusiastic Postdocs and PhDs from different disciplines not only provide new answers to problems but, sometimes even more valuable, they provide new question.

What is more interesting than knowing how the world around us works? Why do tears form in a glass of wine or why do small gold particles appear red instead of yellow. That is why I decided to study applied physics at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. During my study I realized there is another whole new small world to discover and it is called the Cell; What exactly makes life tick. Therefore I am now pursuing a PhD in Biophysics at the Molecular Biophysics group in Delft. Studying life at the single molecule level provides new insights in how life works and what physics allow cells to perform amazing tasks.
