Department: Molecular Nanotechnology; Promotors: R. J. M. Nolte and J. A. A. W. ElemansThesis titled: Synthesis, binding and threading properties of double porphyrin cage compoundsPhD-project inspired by the information transfer present in enzymes like DNA-polymerase. The project is aimed at synthesizing and characterizing of a cavity-base enzyme mimic by means of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry with the aim to develop a molecular computer. The properties of the obtained molecules were investigated by means of NMR-, Fluorescence- and UV-Vis spectroscopy.Teaching experiences:• Chemical Analysis practical course • Reaction and Kinetics (synthetic) practical course• Inorganic Chemistry practical courseStudent supervision:• Master student, project: Information Transfer in Porphyrin Clip Catalysts• Master student, project: Towards information transfer in artificial processive enzymes• Master student, project: Towards photocatalysis based on an enzyme mimic• Master student, project: Binding to Bisporphyrins• Master student, project: Binding Studies of Double Porphyrin Cavities• Bachelor student, project: Polymer Threading of Processive Enzyme Mimics• Bachelor student, project: Binding Studies on Bis-porphyrin with DABCO and Dimethylviologen• Bachelor student, project: Improving Porphyrin Acetylation by Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling• Bachelor student, project: Binding Studies on Covalently Linked Double Porphyrin CavitiesKey laboratory and computer skills:• (in)Organic synthesis • NMR-, Fluorescence and UV-Vis Spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF• Binding and catalytic studies • Origin, Excel Additional courses and activities:• Chairwoman of the Safety Committee • Functional Molecular Systems Course: Out-of-Equilibrium• Functional Molecular Systems Course: Supramolecular Chemistry • Course: The art of presenting science

-Internship aimed at investigating the stereo- and substrate-selectivity of epoxidation reactions catalyzed by a supramolecular enzyme mimic. The multi-step synthesis and characterization of a porphyrin containing supramolecular enzyme mimic was carried out. The selectivity of the epoxidation reaction was investigated with several substrates and axial ligands by means of NMR spectroscopy
