Meet the board
Study Association Antoni van Leeuwenhoek is managed by six new students each year. Those students are BME & BMD students themselves. Next to their master's program, they spend their time on leading the association.

The 20th board

I am Tijmen Massier. As chairman, I am responsible for cohesion in AvL and its board. This is why I play a key role in target and goal setting, on both personal and professional levels. I keep an eye on planning and the course of affairs in AvL and I serve as a first point of contact in the association. In september of 2024, I started my masters BioMedical Engineering (Neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics track) and I decided to join AvL’s 20th board.

As a first year BMD student I am also easily reachable for my fellow students and always up for professional and fun activities with my board.
