ABOUT ME
Hi! I am Simon, a curious AI & Robotics graduate from PXL University of Applied Sciences, and now a last-year master's student at the Faculty of Engineering Technology of KU Leuven and Hasselt University.
From childhood, I've always been eager to learn. I was always the one that wanted to learn how things worked. From space and rockets to science and philosophy, I am always open to learn and to constantly seek personal development while taking pleasure in interacting with and getting to know new people.
I have an exceptional drive for self-improvement for not only academic but also in my pursuit of Personal development and how you can always be the best version of yourself.
More about me
In 2019 I started at PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hasselt where I graduated in application development with specifications in AI & Robotics. Here, I rediscovered my passion for space, physics, and engineering. After a couple international and interdisciplinary projects and graduation, the reignition of my passions led me to pursuing a Master of Science in Systems Engineering Technology.
In 2022 I started at KU Leuven & Hasselt University's Faculty of Engineering Technology where I currently am a last-year master's student in Software Systems Engineering. Here I became an integral part of the interdisciplinary OSCAR project focused on the development of high-performance quantum diamond magnetometers for space applications.

Meditations
Marcus Aurelius
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is (probably) the best book ever written. Authored in 170 AD by the most powerful man in the world. And unlike essentially every other book ever written, this was a book never intended for publication. It was not written for an audience, but for the writer himself.
