Welcome to my home page. Currently I am an assistant professor at the Erasmus MC (depts of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics) doing research in the field of image analysis and AI in the fields of bioapplications. Previously, I was an assistant professor at the Remote Sensing group at TU Delft, working on statistical and machine learning methods for image analysis. Before that, since February 2009, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Biomedical Imaging Group Rotterdam of the Erasmus MC – University Medical Center Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, conducting research on in-vivo molecular image analysis within European Network for Cell Imaging and Tracking Expertise (ENCITE) and Smart Optics Systems (SOS). Since 2011 I have been working on Adaptive bayesian multi-object tracking and motion analysis within my VENI grant. Since 2015 I am going to work on an in vitro high-throughput screening assay for novel microtubule active drugs within my Erasmus MC Fellowship.

Old News:

• Grant within the NWO Programme “Building Blocks of Life” (co-applicant) to study how plasticity and dynamics of the genome structural organization shape gene expression patterns in health and disease. NWO has granted 16 research proposals submitted by interdisciplinary research consortia, with the total NWO budget of 10 million euro, 2016
• Erasmus MC Fellowship, 2014 (personal funding for 4 years) Fellowship bursaries for very talented young researchers who, after their first post-doc period, are building up their own research program.
• VENI GRANT, NWO-EW, 2011 (personal funding for 3 years) The VENI Innovational Research Incentives Scheme is directed at individual researchers who have recently gained their PhDs and gives the opportunity to further develop their ideas for a period of three years.
