Since I was a kid, I have been very interested in everything that has to do with space and space technology. Because my mother shared the same passion and works as a space weather scientist, I grew up with this subject. Show-and-tells, tasks and stories we had to write in primary school always were about space. Since then I dreamed of building something that would eventually go to space. For example a rocket, satellite, or a rover ( or myself ;) ). Aether brings this dream within reach. Because I studied electronics-ICT both in secondary school and at the university of KU Leuven, I have a big background on electronics. However, my interest was particularly in writing software, and therefore, I left electronics behind and chose a specialization for my master, only about software. So most of my contribution within the team is software or IT related.
