Here I am, doing a talk before the official part of the defense.
Right after the talk and before the defense started. Can't say I was nervous, but by my face one could say that I was tired ;)
The Pedell brings in the committee members.
Here is the left row of members ....
... and the right row ...
Probably answering the first question to Holger Hermanns
Could be that i am talking to Haakan Younes here ... Notice I've got two paranymphs, Anne (left) and Erika (right)
Here is Erika :)
This serious guy is my supervisor and the first promoter, his name is Joost-Pieter Katoen
Here is Holger Hermanns, he looks serious here but in general he is full of fun!
The Pedell, just finished the official 45 minutes of questioning, now the committee will leave to make their decision ....
Hm .... the committee is leaving to make their decision.
Here we are ... waiting for the committee to come back ... I am looking forward for the reception ;)
The "inauguration". Here they announce their decision and present me with the certificate.
Joost-Pieter reads the decision.
Ho ho ho! I've got my certificate!
Hand shaking :)
