Hi hi!
I am Merel and this year I get to be the chair of the symposium committee. I am here to lead meetings and keep an overview (or at least I try to), so that we can put together another super interesting symposium this year!
I am 19 years old and in my second year of BMT. Besides my studies, I recently have started enjoying playing basketball at Arriba and I swim occasionally. I also really love games and can be found at the drinks every Wednesday with my fraternity MSCS.
Hopefully, you are just as excited for the symposium as I am, see you there!

Hi! My name is Froukje, and I’m currently a second-year Biomedical Engineering student. This year, I’m part of the symposium committee, where I serve as secretary and program coordinator. This means I’m responsible for communication with the department and for creating the schedule for the symposium day.
In my free time, I enjoy dancing and swimming, and whenever I get the chance, I love to go climbing. You can also find me in the Paradoks room, where I like to chat or just relax for a bit.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the symposium!

Hey there!! I’m Silke and I’m now in my third year of TG ! This year I am the treasurer of the symposium committee, so I take care of the money. I thought it would be really fun to join the symposium committee to organize something big related to my studies. Besides this committee, I was part of the PKIC last year and have been involved in different parts of student life as well. For example, I play the trumpet in SHOT and occasionally go play some tennis at Ludica.
I’m already looking forward to the symposium, see you then!

Hey hey! I’m Julia, a first-year master’s student in Technical Medicine and this year’s PR Commissioner. I’m responsible for all the promotion of the symposium from posters and insta posts to this website. My goal is to get you excited for the symposium and make sure you have all the information you need for an amazing day.
In my free time, I love skating laps at the ice rink with skeuvel, going for a run when the weather’s nice, and joining bodypump classes. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, housemates, and fraternity mates preferably with a nice cup of tea.
I hope to see you all at the symposium! And don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Hey hey! I’m Femke, a third-year Technical Medicine student and this year’s Commissioner of External Relations. Together with Thijn, I’m responsible for maintaining contact with companies and sponsors for the symposium committee. This way, the treasurer doesn’t have to worry about the finances, and you’ll also get the chance to meet some great companies at the career fair.
Besides my studies, I’m active in S.V. Paradoks for example, I’ve helped organize the introduction days and as board of my korfball club, S.K.V. Vakgericht. In my free time, I really enjoy playing games with friends.
Hopefully, I’ll see you at the symposium!

Besides all the studying, I really enjoy being active — whether that’s kicking a ball around or hiking in the mountains. You can also find me a few times a week on the hockey field at DHC.
Hopefully, you’re just as excited about the symposium as I am, see you there!
