Hi, my name is Duco. Im 22 years old and I live in Delft. I´ve done a bachelor
in applied physics and I´m currently doing an applied physics master with a focus
on bionanoscience. In this iGEM project, my main role is that of Policy&Practice manager,
which comes down to me having a lot of interesting discussions with various stakeholders
during the summer. Besides my P&P job, I've been involved in the modeling and
characterization parts of our project. I've really enjoyed my participation in iGEM,
and I can't wait to tell other iGEM teams about our awesome project at the jamboree
.
