A large part of my life was spent in Antwerp (Belgium), but my roots lie in Beveren-Waas, where you could once find the best singing hairdresser, the world champion of Beveren in cycling on rollers, and the best goal keeper in the world. Nowadays my life plays close to the beach in The Hague, together with Erica, Amale and Luan. Holland is a great place for eating herring, being a foreigner, and growing plants.
I am (guest) research associate at the Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis, Leiden. This page gives an overview of my research over the past few years, and of research plans currently in development.
