I am an enthusiastic lecturer in Technology-based Entrepreneurship at TU Delft, as part of the Delft Centre for Entrepreneurship team.I am a strong believer that universities are instrumental in building and developing innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystems and they are the key actors for facilitating the co-creation of knowledge and driving the strategic development of their region. Having acknowledged that in the early stages of my career, I specialized in the current and future role of the universities in the innovation ecosystem and the better management of universities for this role. Drawing on my eclectic and international academic and professional career, I combine my entrepreneurial thinking with a passion for more empowered universities for societal and economic contributions. My specific interest and experience areas in this field are entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship ecosystems, entrepreneurial universities, university-business collaboration.
