Research Question
Nematodes as bio-indicators: how to further integrate the most abundant metazoans on the planet in Environmental policies?
Coordinator of IMBRSea - forming the future generation of marine scientists.
I'm the academic and administrative coordinator of the Erasmus Mundus master IMBRSea - a joint programme of 11 top-leading universities in marine-biological sciences, with UGent as central coordinator. Besides, I conduct research and supervise students on scientific projects mostly related to ecotoxicology (e.g. oil and metals effects), risk assessment, benthic biology and ecology, and nematodes as bioindicators of environmental quality.
