ecology | ants | myrmecophiles

Welcome to my website.

 

I am a postdoctoral researcher from Belgium focusing on interactions between ants and symbiotic arthropods. An introduction to these fascinating organisms can be found here. 

​

I combine behavioral, ecological, chemical, food web, network, and molecular methodologies in my research. This integrative approach allows me to explore how ant-symbiont communities operate and adapt when exposed to human-induced changes.

​

I am currently affiliated to the terrestrial ecology research group (Terec) at Ghent University, Belgium. This is a multidisciplinary ecology group studying patterns and processes underlying the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems.

I'm always open for new collaborations and fresh research ideas.
