Software support and development
I co-develop and maintain the source code of the SPEX spectral fitting package and manage the distribution of the code as a member of the SPEX team. I am also one of the contact points for questions about the software.
Calibration support
I am a member of the XMM-Newton RGS and NewAthena XIFU calibration teams. One of my responsibilities is the CTI calibration of the RGS CCDs. For NewAthena, my interests are to develop new ways to analyze the data that this new mission will deliver.
Open science and data stewards
As part of the SRON open science ambitions, I am coordinator of the SRON data stewards and supporting my colleagues with publishing their papers, data and software. In that context, I develop and give workshops about software development and data management.
ACME visitor program
The ACME project is a European funded project to support multi-messenger astronomy in Europe. SRON participates in the visitor program, which I coordinate locally. Visitors can apply for funding to visit SRON for one week and learn about data analysis in X-ray astronomy.
