I’m happy to share that I’ve been awarded Open Education Ambassador Award by TU Delft Extension School for Continuing Education. The awards celebrate individuals nominated by their faculties for their strong advocacy of open and inclusive practices and the sharing of educational resources to make a positive impact on society.

Toma and Loyola join group for their Nanobiology BEPs.

Sien defended her Nanobiology BEP Engineering a photoreactive ParR substitute for artificial DNA segregation in synthetic cells - insights from molecular dynamics and biophysical characterization. Congratulations!

Renske defended her Nanobiology MEP Exploring the protein domain interaction map of yeast polarity in 3D using bioinformatic tools. Congratulations!

I’m excited to share that my open interactive textbook Programming Foundations is now published. This introductory programming book offers a hands-on approach to learning Python, designed specifically for students of natural sciences who wish to enter the world of coding.

I’m thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the TU Delft Education Fellowship for my project “AI-enhanced programming education for applied scientists”.
