Biography

Floris has received his MSc. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2011 at the University of Twente. He joined the BIOS - Lab on a Chip group for the first time in 2008 for a bachelor assignment on the optical detection of the conversion efficiency of an electrochemical chip for drug screening applications. In an internship assignment, carried out in 2009 at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore, he investigated the performance of various fluorescent DNA dyes in monitoring real-time gene synthesis. He subsequently did his final master’s project in the BIOS group, where he developed a proof-of-concept microfluidic platform and a couple of experimental protocols for parallel single cell analysis. This work is now continued here as the PaSCAl project (more information). As of June 2011, he is working in collaboration with Hitachi High-Tech, where he performs a feasibility study as part of a new product development project.
