PhD student
Compassionate, ambitious, curious
​
I have a BSc in Behaviour and Neuroscience and a MSc in Marine Biology, both from the University of Groningen (NL). I am very excited to combine these two fields and dive into the neuroscience of bioluminescence during my PhD. In my project I aim to decipher the communication of Tomopteris at the behavioural level and characterize the underlying neuroanatomy.
