A significant part of my life was spent in Antwerp, 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 along the main train line du Plat Pays, between Paris and Amsterdam, together with L*, A* and G*, and in other locations with puddles.
I am CRHC researcher ("chargé de recherche hors classe") for CNRS in UMR7618, the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences Paris and guest research associate at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden. This page gives an overview of my research over the past few years, and of research plans currently in development. My personal page at iEES Paris can be found here.
