Postdoctoral researcher at the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Group, Wageningen University, Netherlands. Research and grant writing about the thermo- and movement ecology of tropical ungulates, focusing on mathematical simulations and artificial intelligence. Initiator and leader of an international movement ecology research collaboration about the behavioural thermoregulation of savanna herbivores in the face of climate change.
PhD candidate at the Resource Ecology Group, Wageningen University, Netherlands. Research on animal movement with the goal to infer the animals' internal state and surrounding environmental conditions. A hypotheses-free and data-driven study aimed at a deep and fundamental understanding of animal movement, but with an immediate goal to automatically detect poachers in a South African nature reserve with sensor-tagged ungulates connected through an IoT LoRa-network.
