I have a background in evolutionary ecology, using quantitative methods to answer a variety of research questions. Most work centers around the interplay between genes and the environment of organisms. I worked on life history, social network analyses, quantitative genetics/genomics and population genetics.
Currently I am coordinating the Digital Competence Center for nine national research institutes in the Netherlands (the NWO institutes).
