• Population genetics in bumblebees. Estimation of genetic diversity, population structuring, IBD, … (Belspo project, BRAINS-BE, BELBEES)• Studying thermoregulation and thermal adaptation in bumblebees, in the light of the ongoing climate change (FWO- and EOS-project, CLiPS). Using next-gen-sequencing (RAD-seq), bio-informatic tools, and both morphological and physiological experiments to investigate and explore the genetic health and adaptation potential of pollinator species and populations• Other projects: studying the effect of pesticides (e.g. sulfoxaflor) on wild bees, and the distribution of biocontrol agents (e.g. Serenade MAX) by pollinators• Networking and cooperation with many other research groups and labs• Teaching and guidance of multiple bachelor, master and PhD-students
