About me
My name is Joris, I was born in 1978 in a little place called Oud-Beijerland. I studied Physics and Media Technology at Leiden University. I have a keen interest in programming and have worked as a web-programmer before becoming a scientific programmer in the Bio-Imaging group. Since April 2010, I am a PhD student working on the Cyttron project investigating the use of semantic web technologies.
