Other Particularities
- I wrote my master's thesis in Mathematical Physics under supervision of Professor Robbert Dijkgraaf, president of the Dutch Academy of Sciences and columnist for newspaper NRC.
- The master Mathematical Physics is a special master which is only meant for the best students. It is a mixture of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics and mainly focuses on the mathematical grounding of Theoretical Physics. I was the only student in my year.
- I am an active member of pan-European student's association AEGEE. AEGEE is a student's association that focuses on education, cultural exchange and European integration.
