Returning to My Roots - Embracing the Joys of Academic Life

I’ve got some good news to share!

After spending around 10 years in the industry, I’m happy to be back in the academic world. It turns out, I missed the joy of never-ending coffee and brainstorming sessions next to writing proposals, and scientific articles as well as serving as a reviewer of journals and conferences.

And wow, I did miss it! I don’t regret a single moment of my time in the industry, but I do wonder why it took me so long to realize what truly drives and excites me. I guess you could say it was my Eureka! moment.

I’ve joined Breda University of Applied Sciences as a Faculty lecturer in data_science and machine_learning, and it’s been incredibly rewarding so far. Plus, I get to throw around terms like machine learning, data science and AI even more and look really hashtag#smart.

A huge shoutout to all my amazing colleagues in the industry especially folks at Basic-Fit, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Randstad, Capgemini, Philips, Shell. Let’s stay in touch! You never know when I might need a break from grading students and want to hear some good hashtag#gossip next to finding common group projects to collaborate on.

I’m looking forward to collaboration, not only with former colleagues from the academic world but also with new, enriching, and perhaps even quirky connections.
