CV

I was born and raised in The Netherlands, where I lived until moving to the United States in 2018. I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees at Utrecht University, where, unable to choose one over the other, I studied mathematics and biology in parallel. I obtained my PhD in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from Princeton University in 2023. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at Princeton.
