About

I am a theoretical evolutionary biologist and work at Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences (GELIFES) of Universiy of Groningen, as a tenure-track assistant professor.

Website very much under construction!

Research

I am broadly interested in applying theoretical approaches (mathematical modelling & computer simulation) to tackle different biological questions. I primarily work on cancer, ageing, life history evolution, and cultural evolution. More information about my research can be found here, and please see here for the list of my publications.

Teaching

I teach a variety of courses, covering both modelling approaches (e.g. Evolutionary Theory, Programming C++ for Biologists), and different aspects of evolutionary biology (e.g. Evolutionary Medicine: Diseases of Affluence, Evolutionary Processes). I also take an active role in teaching organisation as a member of the BSc Biology Programme Committee at the University of Groningen. For an overview of my current and past teaching, please see here.

Outreach

I am passionate about dissemination of science, both in academic and public contexts. I have participated in various public outreach events, an overview can be found here.
