At KNMI I work as lead instrument operations, calibration scientist, big data analyst, member of the DIVA core team and member of the employees council. As lead for TROPOMI (and OMI up until 2021) operations I ensure that scientists can improve their knowledge about the climate using the best possible TROPOMI data.This I do by analysing problems, finding.

In 2004 I developed the digital network guide for NIMF, the network for women in physics, informatics and mathematics, The guide came online in July 2005 and can only be used by NIMF members.

As researcher and member of the international BaBar collaboration I have studied rare B meson decays. In addition I was coordinator of the Mont Carlo simulation of the driftchamber, which is the part of the detector that is responsible for the detection of charged particles, and have developed better methods to model data.For the study of rare B meson.

Thesis in the field of elementary particle fysics titled "Excited Beauty at L3". This research is based on results of the L3 collaboration at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. In addition I was responsible for monitoring of the Silicon Microvertex Detector during its first year of operation.As part of my PhD student activities I advised students on the work.
