BERT FRAUSSEN

Enjoyed studying in Antwerp & Leuven

Obtained my PhD at the University of Antwerp

Moved from Mechelen to Canberra in 2014

Left the sunny surf beaches of Australia in 2017 for the equally appealing "strandtenten" in The Hague

Still prefers a "flat white" for coffee (even if they do not taste as good as Down Under)

Has the ability to watch The West Wing an infinite amount of times

Big fan of The Wire

Would like to play more drums, piano and attend more jazz concerts

Always enjoys a good political biography (like Team of Rivals & The Bridge), the better popular science books (such as Outliers & Give and Take), and anything from Michael Lewis

Equally appreciates a Trappist beer from time to time, in particular Chimay (Bleue)
