I am profoundly interested in theoretical and mathematical physics. I obtained my Bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physics with distinction at Utrecht University. My thesis was about the mathematical aspects of Wigner's classification of elementary particles in Minkowski spacetime, with a particular emphasis on the theory of induced representations for semidirect products by abelian groups as developed by Mackey. The unitary irreducibles are classified by means of systems of imprimitivity. In physics literature, this is famously known as the 'little group' method.

I am currently in enrolled in an Honours programme for theoretical physics and mathematical sciences at Utrecht University.
