About me
Thijs de Jong got his Master degree in Chemistry of Life at the Radboud University in 2021, during which he started in the Huck group for an internship. After his Master’s he is now continuing in the same lab as a PhD candidate. Thijs is interested in studying how chemical systems can be used to process information, currently he is researching how the complex chemistry in the prebiotic formose reaction could be used for reservoir computing. Outside of the lab he enjoys cooking, reading, hiking and he is a volunteer at Scouting.
