Academic Background

  • University of Amsterdam / Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (2016-2018)
    M.Sc. Artificial Intelligence cum laude
    Completed with a thesis on finding a deep learning model that induces compositional biases for sequence-to-sequence tasks. I have mostly worked with Python and libraries such as Keras, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. I have used those in several projects, such as creating an image caption generator, generating videos using a generative adversarial network, and finding an interpretable representation of the latent space of this VideoGAN using the InfoGAN technique.
  • University of Amsterdam (2012-2016)
    B.Sc. Computing Science
    Completed with a thesis on the creation of 360x180 degree videos for virtual environments. I have worked mostly with Python, but also had experience with, e.g., Java, C, C++, and SQL. Example projects that I did during this programme are an online calendar application, photo editing software for Android devices and a fully cross-platform messaging service.
  • Vossius Gymnasium (2006-2012)
    High School
    Completed with an N&G + N&T + economy profile. I did a short internship in software and hardware IT support at PCARE ICT support.
