Projects

Programming

Python, HTML/CSS, Matlab, R, Praat ... The possibilities with programming are endless.

Cooking

I like experimenting with new spices and cuisines I'm not familiar with. But I still return to grandma's recipes often.

Snowboarding

I love snow and everything you can do in it. Currently focusing mostly on snowboarding.

Hiking

If there's a path I will hike it. If there are mountains and forests I will love it. The more remote, the better.

Data

Always busy collecting, analyzing and visualizing data. Not only in my research but also in my freetime.

Whittling

My newest hobby. I like creating something out of nothing and this is the perfect hobby for it.

Plants

Outside and indoors greenery is what makes me happiest.

Brain

It might be no surprise I studied psychology and cognitive neuroscience.

Mushrooms

Identifying, picking and eating. Delicious or dangerous but infinitely fascinating.

Languages

I do not only like learning languages, but also learning about languages.

Art

Whether it is in a museum or on the street. I enjoy all kinds of artistic expression. While I don't love everything, I can at least appreciate it.

Dancing

IIt has been a while since I stood on a stage, but I still dance wherever I am.

Presenting

I enjoy talking about stuff I'm enthousiastic about. Fortunately, my PhD offered many opportunities to do so.

Reading

Everything, everywhere... A way to learn and satisfy my endless curiosity.

Festivals

Because they combine my passion for music and dance, and they connect people.

Photography

For me a way of capturing the beauty of the things around me.

Drawing

Most drawings end up unfinished sketches. I tell myself that they are all just exercise for a bigger piece I will be proud of.

Gym

While my goals and exercises in the gym change frequently, the benefits for body and mind stay consistent.

Music

I'm a big lover of electronic music. Making it myself has only made me appreciate it even more.

Bouldering

It's like a big physical puzzle. And good exercise, too.

Writing

Sometimes just for fun, but mostly for work. I like being creative with language and putting down my ideas on paper.

Food

On a quest to find and enjoy the best foods out there. I seek variety and new flavours.

Boardgames

I collect boardgames more than I get to play them. But I'm fanatic when I do.

Travel

I like to visit new places, explore different cultures and just be somewhere else sometimes.

Baking

Mostly savory, and mostly bread. Working and shaping dough is incredibly meditating.

Theater

Writing, directing, acting... I've tried it all with different degrees of amateuristic success.

Animals

They just make me happy. They always have. Especially dogs.

LEGO^®

One of my oldest hobbies, that I have recently rediscovered. Outlet for my creativity and mindfulness.
