+ Nationality: Dutch
+ I'm a 28 year old PhD student currently working in the field of Neurosciences
+ where my research focuses on the neuronal basis of directional hearing.
+ In my free time, I like to tinker with electronics (arduino, raspberry pi)
+ and my homelab (server with networking, storage), as well as play piano and produce music.

+ Profile
+ Experience
+ PhD in Fundamental Auditory Research
+
+ 2015-Present
+
+ In this project, we study the relationship between input
+ and output of individual Medial Superior Olive cells
+ responsible for the localization of sound. These cells
+ are among the fastest neurons in the brain, operating with a
+ temporal resolution high enough to detect sub-millisecond time differences.
+ Combining a custom novel auditory stimulus and spectral/circular statistics
+ analysis tools programmed specifically for this stimulus,
+ we investigate how dendritic signals interact and generate spikes.
+
+ It was my role to lead the project, design the experiments and perform them, analyse the data,
+ write the results and conclusions and present the findings at conferences in the Netherlands and overseas.
+
+ Key achievements:
+ Improved surgery and longevity of experiments
+ Designed a novel auditory stimulus and analysis tools
+ Designed a remote-controlled cell patching system
+ Set up database & data management workflow
