During this special gathering innovative alumni researchers will update us on their current work and ambitions for the future. Also joining us are a group of startups linked to our university including the founders of Ore Energy, CarbonX, ExCulture, Nature's Principles and Powall – these young entrepreneurs will be in Paris for the ‘Hello Tomorrow’ Global Summit and are excited to talk to local alumni about their companies during a special ‘startup market’.

We express our gratitude to the Embassy of the Netherlands in Paris for hosting this gathering, providing our alumni the chance to meet fellow alumni not only from TU Delft but also from University of Twente, TU Eindhoven and Wageningen University. With over 1000 4TU graduates living in the Paris region, we are sure to have a great cross selection of participants from different companies, sectors and roles!

Speakers

My name is Gulibusitan Abulizi (Gülbostan Abliz). I am a Nanofabrication Lead at C12 Quantum Electronics based in Paris. I am passionate about the advancement of nanotechnology. I enjoy fabricating spin-qubit based quantum devices using cleanroom facilities to contribute to the hardware development of the quantum computing. Following my graduation from the University of Twente in 2013 with a master’s degree in nanotechnology, I pursed a PhD degree in experimental physics at the University of Basel in Switzerland and a postdoc afterwards.

Wahid Awad studied and worked in 11 countries including the Netherlands as he completed his master in Biotechnology at Wageningen University. Dr. Awad has a PhD in Genetics from Colorado State University, USA and an executive MBA from ESCP Business School. 

Before founding Rosetta Omics, a Paris-based Biotech startup unlocking the road to precision medicine in cancer, he used to serve as the Chief Business Officer for a french/american pharma company (Cilcare) and an assistant professor at Cairo University. 

Remy Kusters earned his BSc/MSc degrees in Applied Physics from TU Eindhoven in 2012 and completed his PhD in theoretical biophysics at the same institution in 2016. Following his PhD, he relocated to Paris to take up a postdoctoral research position at the Institut Curie. In 2018, he was awarded a fellowship that allowed him to lead a new research team at the intersection of physics and machine learning at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research of the University of Paris. He further pursued this area of research at IBM Research, where he served as a research staff member. In 2022, Remy joined the cultivated meat startup Gourmey, where he oversees the research and development department.

I am Mireia Leon, an aerospace engineer passionate about space exploration. I completed my Master’s degree specializing in space flight at TU Delft in 2022. After this experience, I am continuing my formation as a PhD student at the Paris Observatory, working on surface analysis of Mercury in preparation for the BepiColombo mission. I stay involved with TU Delft through the work done on my MSc thesis on predicting the probability of collision between spacecraft and space debris. The start-up Ecosmic is currently in the process of commercializing this work in the space sector. Hopefully, this will contribute to keeping a clean and safe environment for the growing population of satellites orbiting the Earth.

About DEAN

The Dutch Engineers Alumni Network (DEAN) of TU Delft, University of Twente, Wageningen University and TU Eindhoven launched its activities in 2014 and currently has communities in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Nordics, Spain and Switzerland. By bringing together the engineers that studied in the Netherlands, we hope to create valuable communities for our alumni. We encourage members to use these communities for sharing both achievements and information as well as tapping into the expertise of each other. 

Dutch engineers work across a wide range of sectors, and are affiliated not only with the most prestigious organisations of their fields but in many cases also self-funded start-ups. Some of them may have only recently completed their studies in the Netherlands while others have already lived in one of these countries for a decade or more. This network, therefore, represents a significant source of skills, contacts, and advice.
