  Amsterdam Startup in stealth in the field of quantum algorithms. Responsible for research, development and technical implementation of our solution.



Universiteit van Amsterdam

• Netherlands
• Higher Education

• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Mar 2022 - Jul 2023

  Amsterdam Part-time postdoctoral position on quantum algorithms as part of a collaboration between Fermioniq and the University of Amsterdam.



QuSoft

• Netherlands
• Software Development
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Oct 2019 - Oct 2021

  As a part of DisQover: a collaboration between ABN AMRO and QuSoft, I investigated quantum software applications for ABN AMRO. I am also a member of the Algorithms and Complexity group led by Prof. Harry Buhrman at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI).



MO Problems

• United Kingdom

• Algorithmic Trader

  • Nov 2018 - Aug 2019

  At Amsterdam-based trading startup MO Problems, I was responsible for both the strategic development and optimization, as well as the technical implementation and maintenance of algorithmic trading software.

• PhD Researcher

  • Jul 2014 - Oct 2018

  For my PhD in theoretical physics I investigated quantum mechanical systems that consist of many constituent particles that all interact with one another: so-called strongly correlated systems. These systems are generally too complicated to be studied analytically (using pen and paper). Instead, I resorted to computational methods that go by the name of tensor network algorithms. I was supervised by Dr. Philippe Corboz.

• Lecturer and Teaching Assistant

  • Sep 2011 - Jun 2014

  I have TA'ed over a dozen courses in total for the Bachelor and Master programs in Physics and Mathematics: always with passion and dedication. In addition, I was the principal lecturer for the Betabrugtraject: a program that prepares high school students for a science degree.
