Embarking on a dynamic trajectory in the realm of chemistry, my journey has been marked by diverse experiences and relentless pursuit of knowledge. 🧪 My academic voyage commenced with a tenure track in inorganic chemistry at Leiden University from 2009 to 2014, evolving into an esteemed position as an Associate Professor from 2015 to 2020, and ultimately ascending to the role of a Full Professor in photobioinorganic chemistry since 2020. 🎓 Prior to my tenure at Leiden, I honed my skills through postdoctoral research stints at Utrecht University, collaborating with luminaries like Prof. Bert Klein Gebbink, Prof. Antoinette Killian, and Prof. Gerard van Koten, delving into realms such as chemical biology, membrane chemistry, catalysis, and organometallic chemistry. 🌟 Before my academic pursuits, I dedicated myself to fostering young minds as a full-time teacher in physics and chemistry during my French National Civil Service Abroad stint at a French High School in Berlin, Germany, from 1999 to 2001. 📚
