For his master's thesis, he studied the data of proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN to find characteristics of Dark Matter. After his master, he learned more about data science and worked for 1.5 years at the ministry of Defence as data scientist. With the start of his PhD studentship Sjoerd switched research fields to work as a junior researcher in MR physics under the supervision of Tom Scheenen.
