Curriculum Vitae
1997-2001: MSc Biology, University of Amsterdam.
2001-2006: PhD-work at NIOO-CEME, supervised by Jack Middelburg. Development and application of a new method for analysis of nitrogen and carbon flows through bacteria and algae in aquatic microbial communities (see below).
2006 > : Post-doc at NIOO-CEME. Involved in various projects and collaborations. This work includes:
1) The (long term) fate of microbial N, C, and specific compounds in sediment.
2) The importance of benthic microbes as food source for benthic fauna.
3) The role of crenarchaea in the marine N-cycle (in particular nitrification).
Expertise
Stable isotope labeling (15N and 13C) work combined with compound-specific stable isotope analysis of various compounds (including amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, ammonium, nitrate and nitrite) using GC-c-IRMS, LC-IRMS and GC-MS.
Reviewer for Limnology & Oceanography, Biogeosciences, Marine Ecology Progress Series, FEMS Microbiology Letters, Journal of Marine Systems, Marine and Freshwater Research, Restoration Ecology, Soil Biology and Biochemistry.
