About my work

As a plant ecophysiologist, my research interests are related to species-specific responses to climatic stresses, such as drought, heat and VPD. I aim for holistic approaches that take into account the plant from root to leaf, as well as its interaction with its environment and competing plants. I have studied temperate, mediterranean and tropical ecosystems which are all special and experience climate change in their own way. My broad interest in forests from cell to ecosystem allows for many interesting collaborations and multi-disciplinary experiments.

I have studied and worked at multiple institutes in the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States of America.

Currently I work as a researcher, at the Swedish University for Agricultural sciences, funded by the Trees4Future program and a FORMAS Early Career Grant

I am associate editor for Annals of Forest science.
