Bernoulli consists of four people: Lara Bogavac (Chairman / Commissioner of Internal Affairs), Joaquin Sapena Blanco (Secretary / Commissioner of Educational Affairs), Youri Wilbrink (Treasurer / Vice-Chair), and Nathalie Kuefner (Commissioner of External Affairs). The board keeps the association running, oversees the committees, and ensures all members enjoy their time within Bernoulli.
Lara Bogavac - Chair / Commissioner of Internal Affairs
Hii, my name is Lara, and I am in my 3rd year of the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering. As the Chair of Bernoulli, I guide the board and oversee the association to ensure everything runs smoothly. I keep close contact with our members and committees, lead meetings, and try to keep our community as happy as possible.
When I’m not drowning in uni work, you can find me baking, travelling, or in Chupitos. I am also an avid reader so please share your best book recommendations with me, I’m always up for a chat.
Joaquin Sapena Blanco - Secretary / Commissioner of Educational Affairs
Hello! I am Joaquín, the Secretary and Commissioner of Educational Affairs for the 42nd Board of G.T.D. Bernoulli. I am currently in my third year of my Bachelor of Chemical Engineering. I am the right hand of the Chair and as secretary I keep on top of our business and re-direct any business to my Board colleagues. Also, as Commissioner of Educational Affairs I will try to help you with any problems and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me!
I am from Alicante, one of the sunniest cities in Europe. Normally, you will find me reading a book or watching a film.
Youri Wilbrink - Treasurer / Vice-Chair
Hi everyone! I am Youri, a 21-year-old from Heerenveen, Friesland. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Chemical Engineering here at the University of Groningen. Joining Board 42 as Treasurer and Vice-Chair felt like the perfect next step. It’s a great side quest alongside my studies, and I’m looking forward to the challenge!
Outside of my studies and board duties, I like to keep busy with a few other interests. You’ll usually find me clearing my head on a long run, playing the piano or collecting certifications like a sailing license I have no boat for. The rest of my time is spent making sure my passport is still valid whenever I cross the provincial border back into Friesland.
I’m excited to make this a memorable year alongside my fellow board members. If you see me around Zernike, feel free to stop by for a chat!
Nathalie Kuefner - Commissioner of External Affairs
Hello, my name is Nathalie, and I am German/Australian in my 3rd year of BSc Chemical Engineering. It is an honor to be the Commissioner of External Affairs for Board 42.
As Commissioner of External Affairs, I foster the partnership between Bernoulli and companies, this includes establishing connections between students and companies through activities such as in-house days, industry visits, guest lectures, career activities and updating our LinkedIn.
When not in the lounge, at a lecture or on an excursion, you can find me in the swimming pool or curled up with a book and a pack of sweets (ideally, somewhere warm and tropical). I also enjoy getting to meet new acquaintances, so you are always welcome to come by and chat!
