Lowe Blom is a Doctoral Candidate in the Control Systems Technology (CST) - OptoMechatronics (OM) research group at the Mechanical Engineering department of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Lowe is involved in the Smart*Light 2.0 project, which aims to develop a 'tabletop synchrotron': a reliable and optimized instrument for specific X-ray analysis techniques. His research focusses on the development of a Fabry-Perot cavity, which stores laser pulses with a high stability and synchronization.

Lowe Blom received both his BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His graduation project "Increasing Angle Acceptance of Displacement Measuring Interferometers By Means of a Diverging Laser Beam" resulted in a demonstrator of a novel optical layout for a displacement measuring interferometer with a thirtyfold increased angle acceptance. In between his BSc and MSc Lowe joined Solar Team Eindhoven as an aerodynamic engineer and has worked part-time at Settels Savenije as a design engineer during his MSc.
