Interests
Keen badminton player
History of the 20th century My interest in history is not simply knowing dates, but the backgrounds, the characters and the people. The question why something could happen and why the involved people acted in a particular way interests me. I still believe that we can learn from history
Travelling On holiday I like to be innovative and plan my own itinerary. This way allows me to be independent, to create my own experiences and to get in closer touch with the country and the locals.
Collecting scientific instruments I'm collecting scientific instruments for all kinds of voltage and current measurements, especially from the beginning of this century.
