Hi there! I am a junior researcher recently graduated from the University of Utrecht in Marine Sciences. For the last 18 months I have devoted myself to researching Microplastics. I conducted my first research at the University of Wageningen, where I researched the effects of microplastics on benthic freshwater macroinvertebrates. After loving this experience, I continued my research and joined the marine conservation institute; Archipelagos in Samos, Greece. As a junior researcher I investigated the occurrence and spatial distribution of microplastics and developed a cheap and easily repeatable method. In my free time I love hanging out with my friends, playing basketball, rock climibing, scuba diving and hiking.
