Presentation

As a well-travelled and curiosity-driven researcher, I have a fairly wide research interest in biological, environmental sciences and circular bioeconomy related research. Due to my past consultancies and association with biotechnology companies (public listed and private), institutions and governmental laboratories, I am able to operate successfully among the triple realms of academia, public and the commercial sectors. Over the last 30 years, I have developed useful linkages and extensive person-person networking internationally (Australia, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand). In the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and throughout Europe, I have research partners to develop relevant, productive and dynamic collaboration.
