Natascha Poeran

Natascha Poeran

Natascha Poeran, geboren en getogen in Nederland, behaalde haar master Road & Railway Engineering aan de TU Delft. Tijdens haar studie ontdekte ze haar fascinatie voor materialen, hun gedrag en de fundamentele uitdagingen daarin, vooral voor bitumen en asfalt. Na het afronden van TUD is Natascha aan de slag gegaan als Adviseur bij de R&D afdeling Quality, Research & Support, kortweg QRS, bij de Road & Infrastructure divisie van Royal Boskalis Westminster. Daar maakte Natascha kennis met de 'echte' wegenbouw, praktisch en ambachtelijk . Om hoofdonderwerpen in de branche verder te brengen, zoals end result verification, combineert Natascha kennis van zowel theorie als praktijk om onderzoeksprojecten, processen en hun onderlinge relaties te ontwerpen en te optimaliseren. Hiermee werkt QRS aan een transitie in de wegenbouw van impliciet vakmanschap naar expliciete industrialisatie.

Ever since I was very young, I have been fascinated by technology. My curiosity and enthusiasm for technology are a major focus and joy in my life. I started building DIY devices when I was 12. Now I am a little bit older - 30, but this curiosity still exists. The only difference between me now and me back then is that now I have the opportunity and the necessary skills and knowledge to research and develop technological devices.

Currently, I am an industrial engineer in Siviko which offers a variety of industrial automation products and services.
