Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDouwe Blanken is a PhD student in Microelectronics at Delft University of Technology with eight years of hands-on experience spanning embedded systems, hardware design, and software for autonomy. He combines a cum laude bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering with an MSc focus on Embedded Systems, bringing cross-disciplinary strengths in PCB design, ROS2-based autonomous driving stacks, and liquid-hydrogen propulsion testing. As founder of a web design and digital-marketing venture since 2018, he pairs technical engineering depth with practical product and client-facing experience. His work bridges low-level electronics and high-level software, routinely switching between Altium PCB layouts, C++/Python robotics code, and machine-learning-enabled embedded workflows. Colleagues know him for tackling messy interdisciplinary problems—whether integrating custom hardware into an autonomous vehicle or validating cryogenic test systems—while pursuing rigorous academic research.
