I try to help clients by understanding what is important to them, and advising them through the legal aspects which may look like overwhelming and complex challenges for those who are not familiar with the patent process. 

Being a scientist at heart, I take an analytical and methodical approach to solving problems and try to achieve the best results for the client that suits their needs and interests.

Prior to joining NLO in 2017, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Electromagnetics group of the Electrical Engineering department at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), working on the development and optimisation of Maxwell solver algorithms to simulate the electromagnetic characteristics of objects in stratified media. Before then, I did a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics, where my research involved identifying the geometrical and gravitational effects of stars on pulsar timing through large scale computer simulations and comparing them with observations.
