Health care, from proton to system level
I am a physicist who fell in love with MRI scanners, which launched my path into health care. After finalizing my PhD in MRI physics (Utrecht University, the Netherlands) I moved to Boston for a post-doc (Harvard Medical School, USA).
I then explored the medical field from a system-level perspective and joined ICHOM (Boston, USA). At ICHOM, I guided working groups in defining health outcomes of most importance for patients: a key component in delivering Value Based Health Care.
Eye-opening data visualizations
Along the way, I took a deep dive into the fascinating field of data visualization. Which led to fantastic collaborations with De Correspondent and the MIT Media Lab and to having my first interactive data visualization 'Biota Beats' presented in the Stedelijk Museum Breda for their 'True Beauty' exhibition.
Current work
I love to apply my data skills to help build bridges between people.
With my health care, data analytics, and visualization experience, I provide human centered and tailor-made data support for health care organizations and scientists.

Data
Analyzing, understanding
My work focusses on data, without losing sight of the humans it aims to represent, inform, and help. Data are humans, too!
Vision
Seeing, imagining
High quality data-work needs a clear vision. And visions can massively benefit from great visualizations. I love to create both.
Lab
Creating, learning
With a background in academics, I have an affinity for learning environments like labs, that invite exploring, without really knowing what will be discovered, always unearthing new questions along the way.
