Personal profile

Research

I have finished my PhD under supervision of Wim van Westrenen in the Geology and Geochemistry cluster, working in the field of planetary science. My research is focused on planet Mercury, its evolution, interior state and (rotational and interior) dynamics. The approach is widely interdisciplenary and involves high pressure experiments, adhoc planetary/mathematical modelling, and numerical magnetic field simulations. The work aims to serve the science community in preparation for the Bepi-Colombo mission to Mercury, which is set for launch in 2018. I take this oppurtunity to thank Yingwei Fei for facilitating a research visit at the Geophysycal Laboratory at the Carnegie Institute in Washington DC in Autumn 2015, and Ulrich Christensen and Johannes Wicht for facilitating a research visit at the MPS Institute in Gottingen in summer 2017, both during the course of this PhD.
