Biography
I am a Research Associate at ILVO (Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research). In general, my work focusses on the ecophysiology of plants with an emphasis on plant-water relations. More recently, however, I am starting to shift my work towards functional plant anatomy, and general function-structure relations, in an ecophysiological context.
