Curriculum Vitae
Master in Physics and Astronomy
From 2012 to 2017, I studied physics at Ghent University. My interests mainly lied with theoretical and computational physics. Towards the end of my degree, my elective courses mostly pivoted to software development.
Master’s thesis: Observational characteristics of relativistic star clusters.
I have researched relativistic star clusters, using numerical methods and SciPy to solve the field equations and to calculate photon orbits.
