Merel van den Bosch

You don't see it in the picture but Merel is really, really small. But at the same time she looks like a bulldozer. She is always high on coffee and energy drinks. She will not eat anything that has less than 20g of protein in it. A day without protein is a day not lived for her. She got second place at powerlifting world championships this year, so there is still room for improvement in this area.

Amanda Seiranjan

When you're in the office with Amanda, you don't get a second of rest. She keeps singing songs and making random comments all day long. We just pretend we like it because without her our Instagram is worthless. You also shouldn't take Amanda and Fleur to an event together, because one glance at each other will make them unable to stop laughing for the rest of the day.

Lisa Nooren

If you need a honest critical opinion on something, Lisa is your person to go to. She is amazing at cards against humanity since she has a great sense of dark humour. She might be a bit of a control freak sometimes, but at least she gets everything done.

Jay Beeren

Jay is our golden retriever labrat, oh wait, actually he’s more like a chihuahua, looks sweet but will break you if you mess up in the lab. You always say you understand him, even when you don’t because you want to pretent you’re as smart as him. When talking about wiki and lab, Jay is like a kid in a candystore. He wants to do everything, and somehow he manages to get it all done.

Veerle Jegers

"We will see" Veerle says all the time. She’s the only one who knows how to do modeling but doesn’t want to get her hands dirty in the lab. A laptop is much better than being in the lab, anyway. She is also singlehandedly responsible for keeping the plants alive in the office.

Phil Geers

Phil is the kind of person who will roll his eyes at anything, making you think you have done something wrong. We occasionally call him grandpa Phil because he uses the oldest Dutch words ever. But do not fret, for he makes some great crème brûlée and is a coding nerd.

Contact Phil: p.f.geers@student.tue.nl

Fleur Martens

Fleur has lots of pointless stories to tell making it impossible to get work done unless you go to another office. She laughs a lot and puts divs in divs in divs, much to Phil’s frustration. She works at an ice salon but that doesn’t mean she always keeps her head cool at the office. Because of her, we have a fabulous Wiki, and a lot of fun in the office.
