Born and educated in the Netherlands;

 

Research interests:

I have a broad based interest within the field of Marine Biology. This is shown in the difference in study subjects during my master researches. Ranging from ecological fieldwork with bentic fish species at the Banc d’Arguin, in Mauritania, to behavioural research on acorn barnacles in the lab. During my study I noticed that I have more affinity with the practical then the theoretical side of research. My current position entails amongst others the sorting and identification of benthos for the biodiversity project. My additional technical/mechanical background provides knowledge of technical and construction options, as well as the capability to make necessary adaptations/ repairs of equipment.
