visitor, welcome to my home page.
My name is Sander Nijdam.

I've been born in the small town of Nuenen (near
Eindhoven) in 1974.
In 1995 I moved to a student's house in
Eindhoven called Nie Mauwe.
I have have made some 3D renderings of the room I lived in over there.
The results of this work can be seen
here.
Since the beginning of 2003 I live with Yvonne in a large appartment building
called "De Regent",
which is located in the centre of Eindhoven. |

After graduating from Eindhoven University in 2000 (MSc. in Applied Physics) I started
working as a development engineer for Philips Lighting. In this function I
participated in the development of new HID lamp types.
Starting December 1st 2006 I have returned to the Eindhoven University
as a PhD student. I am working on streamers and on experimental work regarding
the theories and experiments of Randy Mills and black light power.

On the internet I am a regular reader and poster in
the following dutch newsgroups:
nl.wetenschap (science),
nl.sport.duiken (diving),
nl.kunst.sf+fantasy,
nl.dranken.bier (beer) and
nl.comp.handheld (for my Palm Tungsten|T). Of these groups the
nl.kunst.sf+fantasy-group is the best (cool people over there),
you can check out the web page of this group over
here.
