Activities
I have done a thesis on population genetics of seagrass species (Vietnam) and a thesis on eDNA as a tool to assess biodiversity of reef fish in Tanzania. For this I carried out fieldwork, labwork, construction of bioinformatic pipelines as well as downstream analysis.
I did my internship with the NGO Project Manaia where I collected and treated data on the seagrass Posidonia oceanica and I will be returning this July o continu working with them. I also have a strong interest in taxonomy and taught some classes at VUB on North Sea macrobenthos and fish.
I am currently looking for PhD opportunities (or traineeship opportunities) that will allow me to combine genetic tools and ecology.
