Professor at the Department
of Astrophysics, within
the Institute
of Mathematics, Astrophysics
and Particle Physics, at Radboud
University, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
My main scientific passions are Galactic magnetic fields, the interstellar medium of the Milky Way, and radio polarimetry.
My ERC Consolidator Grant funded project.
LOFAR is a magnificent instrument for probing the local magnetized interstellar medium through Faraday Tomography
Consortium
and software package.
Both with the aim of modeling the
Galactic magnetic field.

I love teaching. I am teaching courses at Radboud University and have taught at other universities and various summer schools.
First-year's overview course Astronomy, with Prof. Heino Falcke.
Learn about our interstellar medium through papers and
presentations
Won the Best Teacher Award 2017!
in our Solar system and beyond. Also for chemists, science students, biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and interested aliens.
Master course, in collaboration with Prof. Bram Achterberg
Bachelor course which I taught from 2011 to 2014
Astronomy is a fantastic science to share with the public. I give lectures, develop lesson material, run master classes, build an online game, give interviews, answer questions, and more.
Our department is very active in outreach: star gazing evenings, telescope tours, lectures, master classes and more
An awesome board game to teach school children about science
and the scientific method.
We are digitizing it at the moment.
An online pulsar project for high school students, that I developed with high school teacher Cornelis de Boer.
I give lectures about the Milky Way, interstellar medium, magnetic fields, and other astronomical topics
As a member of the Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, my research featured in a YouTube movie
I won the National Science Quiz in 2010
