Tim de Groot

I’m a master student studying Computational Science at the University of Amsterdam & Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Education

• Master Computational Science (2025-current)

I'm currently following the master Computational Science at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (joint degree). Alongside the core curriculum focussed on simulation (stochastic, complex system, agent-based modelling) and machine learning I am following courses on astrochemistry and molecular photochemistry.

• Bachelor Chemistry (2020-2025)

During my bachelor Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (joint degree) I followed free choice electives in programming and mathematics alongside the core chemistry curriculum. My thesis at the Anton Pannenkoek Institute for Astronomy and Molecular Photonics group on Modelling the Photochemistry of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Thesis) combined this education in chemistry and programming with astronomy.
