Biography
I acquired my master’s degree in Biology (Biodiversity: Conservation and restoration) at the University of Antwerp. My thesis was on “Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in sand flies and small mammals in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia”. After graduation I worked for the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels as a research assistant for 1 year. Currently, I am a PhD student at the the University of Antwerp with my project being the presence of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) in African mammal wildlife. The focus is on how animal host characteristics influences arbovirus diversity, abundance and dispersal.
