Welcome to the SDS factory: Maarten introduces himself!

My name is Maarten, and I have a background in neuroscience, biomedical sciences, and physics. During my studies, I gained extensive experience in scientific research and tackling complex problems. Although I have always found research interesting, I realised that pursuing a career in academia was not what I was looking for. Instead, I wanted to put my analytical skills to use in a different way, with a more direct connection to practical applications. 

I found that opportunity at the ViB Fabriek. Although chemical legislation was a rather unexpected direction after my studies, it quickly turned out to be a good fit. Combining technical knowledge with legislation and regulations offers exactly the kind of puzzles I enjoy getting my teeth into. 

Of course, the people I work with also make the job much more enjoyable. I appreciate being part of a team where sharing knowledge, helping one another, and working together to find solutions come naturally. The combination of interesting technical challenges, opportunities for personal development, and a pleasant working atmosphere makes me feel right at home at the ViB Fabriek. 

I look forward to continuing to develop my skills, tackling new challenges, and providing our clients with the best possible support alongside the rest of the team.
