Vinson Ciawandy

Hi all, you can call me Vinson, and I’m the competition manager for our club. I’m studying for a Master’s in Statistics and Data Science at Leiden University. I’m 27 years old and originally from Indonesia. Besides badminton, hiking is one of my passions. I also enjoy cooking Asian food, and doing weight training (feel free to join me for a club power session). Some people say I look intimidating, but don’t hesitate to say hi if you see me on the court! I’m also happy to give practical tips to anyone starting in badminton.

Meret

Hello there, my name is Meret, and I am currently serving as the secretary for the club! I am 25 years old and pursuing my MA at Leiden University in colonial and global history. Originally, I am from Switzerland. I enjoy drawing and visiting museums, and I have a fondness for all animals. Fun fact: apart from my two fellow board members, I began playing badminton here at Leiden University, so I am still a beginner. Nevertheless, I am happy to assist with anything!

Joon-Ha

Hi, my name is Joon-Ha and I am the treasurer of the club. I am 27 years old, come from France and Korea, and I am currently studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Leiden. Apart from badminton, I am interested in geopolitics, and love to learn about different cultures and languages. If you see me at trainings, feel free to say hi or ask me anything!

Liudvikas Pikutis

Hey everyone! My name is Liudvikas or Ludo or Liu, I collect different nicknames… I’m the Social Media Manager of BSC since August 2022. I’m 22 years old, from Lithuania and I’m studying for my Master of Psychology here in Leiden. I love weird music, if you can show me the weirdest songs you know, I will be delighted to hear them. Polyrhythms and microtonality are the best! In my free time I like to play badminton, practice footwork, watch badminton competitions or think about badminton. Other than that I also like to play video games like Dead by Daylight. If you see me on court, don’t be shy to say hi or ask any questions. You can also find me at the M noodle bar from time to time. 🙂

Nina del Prado

Hi everyone, my name is Nina del Prado and I am the Treasurer of BSC Leiden. I am 23 years old and born and raised in Leiden, so you can not only ask me about badminton but also for good places to have a drink in Leiden. I’m currently in my pre-master phase of Accounting at Nyenrode Business University. I’ve played badminton for a few years when I was younger and decided in October 2021 that I wanted to play again but this time here at BSC and I enjoy it a lot! I’ve been a board member since October 2022 🙂 I play badminton 2 or 3 times a week and I’m also part of a mixed competition team. Besides badminton I like to swim, bake cakes and cookies, listen to all kinds of music, collect plants (even though I have no space left), play guitar and cuddle with my cat. Hopefully I’ll see you at the USC and don’t hesitate to ask me whatever you’d like to know!

Erik Vroon

Hi everyone! I’m Erik and I maintain the IT stuff of BSC since November 2022. I’m 26 years old, born in the exotic city of Leiden and I’m actually already graduated. I studied Physics (Leiden) and Aerospace Engineering (Delft). I have been playing badminton at BSC since the spring of 2017. Apart from badminton, I like to play piano, go for a walk and sometimes play open-world video games. I’m also generally interested in everything related to aviation. Furthermore, I like programming and building web applications, which my current job is about and is useful for my role in the board as well. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions you might have!
