    In January 2018, I graduated as a biologist at Utrecht University. During my master studies I specialized on climate change and species interactions in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. During my master, I did a research project at the Department of Animal Ecology (AnE) at NIOO-KNAW where I studied the effects of climate change on the phenology of the winter moth.  In addition to my internship, I also worked at this department as an animal caretaker, field assistant and lab assistant. After my internship at NIOO-KNAW I did a research project in Adelaide (Australia) where I studied the effects of climate change on the foraging behavior of mangrove and saltmarsh associated juvenile fish. 

    After my graduation, I joined the department of Terrestrial Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), working as a field and laboratory assistant within the VICI project of Martijn Bezemer. Within this project I assist the PhD students and (post-doctoral) researchers that study how plants influence the soil biota in the rhizosphere, how these so-called soil legacy effects influence 1) the growth and chemical composition of other plants that later grow in that soil and 2) the aboveground insects that in turn depend on these plants.

    Living legacies: Influence of plant-mediated changes in soil communities on aboveground plant-insect interactions
    Via specific effects on soil organisms, plants can influence the soil community and this, in turn, can influence the growth of other plants that grow later in the same soil. In this VICI project we examine the impact of such soil-borne ‘legacy effects’ on plants and aboveground insects in natural...Read more
