I am a behavioural biologist specialized in (primate) behaviour and welfare. As a research and education employee at the Animal Behaviour and Cognition group of Utrecht University, I am involved in teaching in the Biology bachelor programme and Behavioural Ecology master track. Besides, I coordinate and supervise research projects conducted at the Biomedical Primate Research Centre. In June 2023, I successfully defended my PhD thesis “Fat or fit: correlates, consequences and control of overweight in group-housed primates”.
