Summary
Mathijs Van Gorcum is a systems architect with nine years of experience blending experimental fluid-physics research and hands-on engineering to deliver high-tech tooling, cryogenic systems, and superconducting equipment. Trained as a physicist (MSc, University of Twente) and formerly a PhD researcher in wetting and capillarity, he pairs deep physical intuition with practical skills in building experiments and writing image-analysis and data pipelines. At VDL ETG he drives development and realization of precision hardware, and his background at Medspray and Micronit adds microfluidics and applied device experience. Outside work he contributes to open source and self-hosts privacy-focused alternatives to mainstream web services, reflecting a strong bias for control, security, and reproducibility.
