2006 - present : Vice-Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellow, UNSW

2001 - 2005: Ph.D., Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) / Utrecht University, The Netherlands
2000: MSc., Wageningen University, The Netherlands
1995 - 1999: BSc., Wageningen University, The Netherlands

I use ideas and techniques from the fields of evolutionary biology, ecology, quantitative and population genetics to address fundamental evolutionary questions like: "What are the roles of genes and environment in shaping the diversity we see around us?", "How do natural populations cope with environmental variation, both in space and in time?", and "Are we able to predict the evolutionary trajectory of wild populations?". In trying to answer these questions, I take a highly pragmatic approach to the choice of study systems. This allows me to combine the best of field- and laboratory-based work, and will hopefully advance not only our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of natural populations in general, but also provides us with essential insights into the impact of, for example, climate change on biodiversity.
