I am a professor in experimental evolution at the Laboratory of Genetics at Wageningen University. We use laboratory evolution experiments with bacteria and fungi to understand the genetic and ecological causes and constraints of evolution. In collaboration with theoreticians, we develop models aimed at predicting short-term evolutionary processes, in particular antibiotic resistance evolution in bacteria.

I am a senior researcher and group leader in the department of terrestrial ecology at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology in Wageningen. I am a plant microevolutionary biologist: I am interested in how plants respond and adapt to rapid changes in their environment, such as under urbanization, climate change, and biological invasions, and I use genomic and epigenomic analyses to address this question.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment (A-LIFE) – (research group of Ecology and Evolution) at Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam. My research focuses on better understanding the evolutionary significance of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi unique nuclear dynamics across scales, and specifically, how they affect the function and fitness of the interconnected fungi and plants, in diverse abiotic and biotic conditions. 

I am a group leader at Naturalis Biodiversity Center. I am a botanist and fascinated by the emerging field of research of evolution and development in an ecological context (eco-evo-devo). I investigate how molecular mechanisms determine the morphological diversity of plant organs, focusing on evolutionary development in ancient biomes (vegetation zones) as well as in modern environments, especially in cities.
