Hey, ik ben Merel. Ik heb HBO Chemie met de major Food en Pharma gestudeerd aan Avans in Den Bosch. Ik ben nu bezig met mijn master Medicinal Chemistry aan radboud Universiteit. Ik ben bestuurslid geworden omdat ik nieuwsgierig was naar het grote geheel van het chemiewerkveld. Hierdoor ben ik tot de ontdekking gekomen dat ik een passie heb voor organische chemie. Ik vind het leuk om mijn netwerk uit te breiden door nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten tijdens het organiseren van activiteiten.
Hey, I'm Merel. I studied Chemistry at Avans University of Applied Sciences in Den Bosch, majoring in Food and Pharma. I am currently doing my Master's degree in Medicinal Chemistry at Radboud University. I became a board member because I was curious about the bigger picture of the field of chemistry. This led me to discover that I have a passion for organic chemistry. I enjoy expanding my network by meeting new people while organising activities.

Hallo, ik ben Lian Blijlevens en ik heb een PhD in de vaste stof chemie (warmte-opslag in zout kristallen). Daarna heb ik kort gewerkt met kristallisatie van pharmaceutische moleculen en nu ben ik begonnen bij een bedrijf dat warmte-opslagsystemen ontwikkeld. Tijdens mijn studie en PhD aan de Radboud heb ik steeds geholpen met scheikundigen verenigen en ik zie ernaar uit om dat bij jong KNCV op landelijke schaal te doen.
Hi, I am Emilia. I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in biocatalysis. I have always been passionate about contributing to the bigger picture of science in relation to society. I joined the Young KNCV because I wanted to learn more about chemistry at different levels in the Netherlands and have the opportunity to network with other people who have chosen chemistry as part of their lives.
Hoi, ik ben Joey Ouyang en ik studeer momenteel de master molecular chemistry aan de Radboud Universiteit. Hiervoor heb ik 4 jaar gewerkt in de farmaceutische industrie als process engineer. Ik ben bestuurslid geworden omdat het leuk vind om mensen bij elkaar te brengen, te netwerken en jongere chemici te enthousiasmeren hoe belangrijk ons werkveld is.
Hi, my name is Joey Ouyang and I'm currently studying the master course molecular chemistry at the Radboud University. Prior to my study, I've worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 4 years as a process engineer. I became a board member because I like to bring people together, networking and tell young chemist how exciting and important our field of work is.
Hi, my name is Joey. I studied chemical engineering and chemistry after which I pursued a PhD in physics.
Currently I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology at the crossroad of chemistry and physics.
I joined the board because I believe it is important to inspire and connect (young) people working in chemistry related fields.
Joining the board of young KNCV allows me to actively contribute to this.
Hoi, ik ben Lisa! Ik heb de bachelor Chemistry en de master Molecular Chemistry aan de Radboud Universiteit gevolgd, en werk momenteel als adviseur en modelleur op het gebied van chemische veiligheid bij adviesbureau TAUW. Mijn ambitie is om bij te dragen aan de verbinding van de chemiegemeenschap en de bescherming van het milieu en onze samenleving. Ik krijg energie van het opzetten van evenementen en het ontmoeten van nieuwe mensen, en ben blij dat ik dit via jong KNCV kan doen!
Hi, I’m Lisa! I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a Master’s degree in Molecular Chemistry at Radboud University, and I currently work as a consultant and modeler in the field of chemical safety at the consultancy firm TAUW. My ambition is to contribute to connecting the chemistry community and to the protection of our environment and society. I get energized by organizing events and meeting new people, and I’m happy that I get to do this through Jong KNCV!
Hello, my name is Jasper Jacobi. I studied analytical chemistry and industrial engineering and process management in Groningen. I've become a member to meet people and to follow the latest developments in the field. With my position in the board I hope to support all the young chemists and have a positive impact.
Hi, I am Tatiana, an enthusiastic chemist from Moldova, currently pursuing a Bachelor Program in Circular Chemical Engineering at Maastricht University, the Netherlands.
Chemistry has been a cornerstone of my life from a young age. My dedication led me to participate in numerous chemistry olympiads, including earning a bronze medal at the 53rd International Chemistry Olympiad in 2021.
I strongly believe that progress is driven by both science and collaboration. Sharing knowledge fuels innovation, which is why jong-KNCV was the ideal place for me to continue my journey. Since joining the board in 2023, I have also become part of the EYCN and IYCN teams, allowing me to expand my contribution, to connect and share ideas within the broader European chemistry community. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead and the potential to make a meaningful impact!
Hello, I’m Leo!
Born in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova, I’m currently pursuing my BSc in Chemistry at the University of Groningen. What excites me most about chemistry is how its various branches intertwine and shape the world around us, influencing every aspect of our lives. I joined jong-KNCV driven by my passion for chemistry and a desire to collaborate with like-minded peers to contribute to a safer, more sustainable world through scientific discovery and innovation.
