♡ welcome ♡

My name is Marieke (she/they—zij/hen). On the net, you may know me as ma3ke. I really like working with computers, but actually computers feel pretty indifferent about me.

I hold a BSc in Biology–Molecular Life Sciences and by the summer of 2025 I will finish my MSc degree in Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Groningen. Next academic year, I look forward to starting as a graduate student at the Marrink lab! Additionally, I have some experience in philosophy of science, and I find this background informs a great deal about my scientific endeavors. My research interests are in computational methods in biology, molecular dynamics, and analysis of biomolecular structures. Specifically, I concern myself with methods for constructing very large and complex molecular dynamics simulations. I love applying my computational skills to build cool systems.
