I Hate Statistics

  Most people think they hate statistics. We’ve found a way to make them love it! We are I Hate Statistics, a young start-up in Amsterdam. We are on a mission to make everyone understand the world through data! Data make up a large part of the news and influence the choices we make. Which political party is likely to get our vote, which school we would like our children to attend, even what we are inclined to have for lunch. However, a lot of people find statistics boring and difficult. They associate it with endless days at high school and nerve-racking exams. Sound familiar? We get it! We want to spice things up and make statistics accessible and fun again! So everyone will be able to understand the world through data and will be able to question the news. Show less

• PhD Candidate at Delft University of Technology

  • Feb 2012 - May 2016

  Performing research in numerical aerodynamics at the Aerodynamics department of the Aerospace Engineering faculty. The research is focussed on the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the analysis of active flap control in large scale wind turbines during extreme conditions. Important subjects are: gust modelling in CFD, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), fluid-structure-control interaction (FSCI), 3D CFD simulations of wind turbines.

• Graduate Student

  • Sep 2008 - Oct 2011

  Located at the Aerodynamics department of the Aerospace Engineering faculty. First full year consisted of courses with the following topics: computational fluid dynamics (CFD), aeroelasticity, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), gasdynamics, experimtenal analysis, airfoil design, scientific computing, optimisation methods, boundary layer theory. Second year consisted out of internship at Airbus and an optional extra half year of courses (Honours Track program).In the third year I performed my final thesis work. In the thsis I investigated the influence of deforming wing shapes on the performance of DelFly II like Micro Air Vehicles using two wings clapping together. Developed, programmed and tested a new method in OpenFOAM (open source CFD software) to cope with two wings clapping together. Using this new method the influence on the performance of deforming wings while performing a clap-and-fling motion has been studied.Graduated with an average of 9.0 and a final thesis grade of 10.0 Show less
