I obtained my Master of Science in Bioengineering Sciences with a specialization in Cell and Gene Biotechnology: Molecular Biotechnology degree from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in 2020. I have a strong passion for extremophiles, particularly halophiles, and my research primarily focuses on the exciting field of bioplastics. In 2021 I received an FWO-SB grant for my project titled 'Synthetic biology engineering of the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei as a cell factory for tailor-made polyhydroxyalkanoates.' This grant has been instrumental in advancing my research and contributing to the field of extremophile biotechnology.
