Boris Morel

Boris’ mission is to handle the loads of data generated by the Studyportals website and make sure the team can extract useful insights from them.

Born and raised in France, he has been wandering in different countries (Belgium, the U.S. and now the Netherlands) ever since he graduated. Although a PhD in Physics should have pushed him towards a teaching/researching role, he found himself more inclined to help other folks do their job by developing software tools for instrument control, automations and now data management. He feels he might have finally found a place where to settle here in Eindhoven.

His key challenge is to develop efficient data tools able to handle the ever-growing amount of data that SP is collecting. The team is going to need to scale up the data infrastructure if we want to meet present and future needs.

His personal goal is to develop a data culture and expertise at SP by adopting the best practises in the field while keeping an eye on new bleeding edge developments to determine which ones could benefit operations.

He has yet to find something that makes him happier than simply having a walk in a forest, with no car noise or cellular coverage, which is harder to find than one might think.  Although he enjoys the occasional paragliding flight or windsurfing session.
