Wouter van Straalen
Field Of Expertise: Aerospace

Wouter van Straalen studied experimental physics at Utrecht University, with his bachelor and masters project investigating the applications of machine learning on gravitational wave data analysis. The projects studied gravitational wave lensing and early sky localization of binary neutron star inspirals. He is currently in the first year of his PhD in Delft at the Aerospace Engineering faculty, in the Space Instrumentation section. The project covers the investigation of planetary surface analogue samples using a novel spectroscopic ellipsometer instrument.
