Summary
Jacob Kerssemakers is a multidisciplinary scientist-engineer and landscape painter with over 18 years combining biophysics research support and software-driven instrumentation development. Based at Delft University of Technology, he builds image processing and data-acquisition tools for BioNanoScience while contributing ideas that have supported a prolific research output (65 papers, H-index 34, two first-author Natures and 16 works cited 100+ times). He previously led projects developing novel microscopes and imaging techniques in industry and academia, pairing hands-on lab work, Matlab analysis, and product definition. Parallel to his technical career he runs a successful painting practice with roughly 70 exhibitions and ~500 works sold, reflecting a rare blend of technical rigor and artistic sensibility. Fiercely dedicated and quality-driven—qualities honed as a lifelong athlete and coach—he’s now exploring new professional directions that bridge science, technology and the arts.
