Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Tom Reuvers

Tom finished his bachelor in Engineering Physics and graduated
on simulations for the radiation experiment. He completed an his internship at the Radboud RadioLab and therefore already has some experience with the project. He currently is subteam leader of the radiation experiment
