SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATIONS

Through mixed media or digital freehand illustrations,
I try to convey the vibrant flow of molecular life sciences.
Below are a few examples.

Illustration made for and with Dr. Julian Helfenstein (Soil Geography and Landscape group, WUR) to introduce one of his research lines, on the potential for rice cultivation in The Netherlands
Small simplified illustrations I like to use to introduce
my PhD and Post Doc work in meetings

Illustrations made for the PhD thesis of Yosapol Harnvanichvech (Biochemistry lab, WUR).
Illustration made for an In Brief written by Dr. Vera Gorelova (Biochemistry lab, WUR) in The Plant Cell, to highlight the role of PSK4 in phototropism.
Series of schematics made to illustrate the GreenTE proposal, application to the Gravitation grant (NWO, granted in 2024). Authors: Profs. Sprakel, Weijers, Wuite, Xu, Merks, van der Gucht, Boutilier, Bentsink, Evangelisti, van der Ackerveken, Kamperman, Voets.
Schematics made to illustrate the proposal written by Prof. Joris Sprakel, application to the VICI grant (NWO, 2023).
Illustration made for an In Brief written by Dr. Vera Gorelova (Biochemistry lab, WUR) in The Plant Cell, to highlight the role of the MOR1 protein in ensuring proper microtubule arrangement.

Illustration made for an In Brief written by Dr. Vera Gorelova (Biochemistry lab, WUR) in The Plant Cell, to highlight the role of BC16 in regulating cellulose assembly. For more information, check out: https://academic.oup.com/plcell/article/34/12/4671/6695223?login=false
Schematics made to illustrate the new Microfluidics Force Spectroscopy method developed by Martijn van Galen (PCC, WUR) and Prof. Joris Sprakel (Biochemistry, WUR). This method allows to measure the force-dissociation behaviour of bonds rapidly and with good statistics.
Illustration of spin interactions, based on the quantum Hall effect and quantum tunnelling, used for the transmission of information. This illustration was made for and with Dr. Corentin Déprez.
