Main

This website contains information about myself, projects that I work on, publications that I'm doing or that I've already done and similar stuff. Consider it as a basic look into what I do with my life.

About me

I'm Ronald, 27 years old, currently living (with my wife) in New York, graduated as Master of Science in biomedical sciences at the University of Utrecht (the Netherlands). I've recently enrolled as a Ph.D. student in the graduate school of medical sciences of Cornell University (in New York City). In my free time, I'm (amongst other things) a free software programmer. The result of my coding efforts can be found here.
You can find more detailed random personal stuff on my weblog. If you think my software or research rocks, let me know (or buy me a present from my Amazon wishlist)!

Software

I currently contribute to the FFmpeg free software project. Previously, I have contributed to MJPEG-tools, GStreamer, GNOME and the Linux kernel. Information about these pieces of software can be found on their respective websites.

I have also written an iPhone application that allows you to use your iPhone as a remote control for PowerPoint on Mac OS X. For more information on this product, see the PPT Remote sub-page.

Research

In my daily life, I'm a fourth-year graduate student in the Pharmacology program of the Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University. I work in the lab of Dr. Anderson in the psychiatry department. My research focus is the development of the cerebral cortex.

A list of my current publications (with summaries for those where I was a first author) is available on the Publications page.
