4. Prof. Dr. Melvyn Roerdink
“Patrick is still an early career researcher, but certainly demonstrates a level of maturity and leadership well beyond that. I've witnessed him taking impressive process and thought leadership in an international expert group setting up guidelines for the co-development of exergames. It's a true pleasure to work with Patrick because he's the type of dedicated person who delivers beyond what he promises, producing high-quality work with both scientific and societal impact. He is a living librarian, well-versed in the scientific literature, always able to share a relevant paper within seconds. Communication, engagement and organization are his strengths.” (June 4, 2025)
