You are invited!
As alumnus/alumna of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) you are invited to the upcoming 4TU.Alumni event in London on Tuesday April 30. Did you know that London has one of the largest concentrations of alumni from the 4 Dutch technical universities outside of the Netherlands? Grab the opportunity to access this unique network!
About the event
Meet fellow alumni from not only WUR but also TU Delft, TU Eindhoven and UTwente. With over 2000 graduates living in the greater London region, we are sure to have a great cross selection of participants from different companies, sectors and roles! You will also hear updates from your alma mater and special activities during the event will maximize your networking opportunities.
During this special alumni gathering, a selection of local alumni researchers will share details about their current work both within and outside of academia as well as their ambitions for the future. Also joining us are startup founders, linked to our universities, visiting London who are excited to talk with local alumni about their companies during the concluding borrel.
Please save the date – Tuesday April 30th, 6:00pm to 9:00pm – and register quickly!
Further details about the programme, location (central London) and our alumni speakers will follow soon.

Panel participants
Vincent Goverse (TU Delft)
Vincent Goverse completed his double BSc. in Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics at the TUDelft. During his undergrad, he took a leave of absence to take part in the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition as part of the TU Delft team, where his responsibilities were the integrated testing and designing of its breaking system. He went on to complete an MSc. in Applied Mathematics at Imperial College London, where he focused on the more abstract field of Random Dynamical Systems (Chaos Theory) and decided to continue his studies in the field. He is currently completing a joint PhD at Imperial College London and Oxford University.
Gianna Kohl (University of Twente)
Gianna Kohl completed her degrees in Applied Psychology at Saxion University of Applied Sciences and in Positive Psychology & Technology at the University of Twente. Shortly after, she started working at University College London as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Early-Stage Researcher in the DISTINCT network, which focuses on enhancing the social health of people living with dementia through technology. She is currently completing her PhD on the use of technology to support people with dementia in sharing their diagnosis with others.
Mathieu de Kruijf (University of Twente)
Mathieu de Kruijf graduated with a BSc/MSc in Applied Physics from the TU/e. During this period a passion for integrating complex physics research into real world solutions grew. When the opportunity came for doing a PhD at UCL while working at the start-up Quantum Motion, Mathieu saw this as the perfect combination to learn more. This boundary between academia and commercialisation allows for unique collaborations from all sorts of people with varying backgrounds which he really enjoys. Mathieu's research interest lies in the scalability of quantum computing using silicon spin qubit devices. Exploring the fundamental physical properties in these devices is essential but at the same time there is a need to scale up our measurement and control techniques to be able to operate and test larger and more complex quantum devices.
Julia Martin (Wageningen University & Research)
Julia Martin has a background in bio-engineering from the University of Barcelona, and in Food Chemistry and Consumer Science from Wageningen University. After Wageningen, she was a founder and later on an operator within the Cellular Agriculture space, mainly focusing in sustainable fats. She is currently Project Lead for Cellular Agriculture at the global sustainable food systems charity ProVeg International, where she spearheads research and thought around cellular agriculture, mainly focusing on maximising impact from this technologies through funding, consumer adoption and corporate engagement.
