Professional summary
Kevin obtained a B.Sc. in Biology (hons) from the University of Amsterdam (UvA), in 2017. He continued his studies with an International Master in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution (IMABEE), a double degree shared between the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam and the Université de Rennes 1. His first year Master included an internship at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (UvA), where he investigated the role of pheromones in mate choice in a noctuid moth (Chloridea virescens). He then moved to France as an Erasmus student for his second year, where he graduated in 2019 on his studies on the physiology of extreme resistance against pyrethroid pesticides in a darkling beetle (Alphitobius diaperinus).
After a brief foray into biomedical analysis during Covid, he joined UKCEH as a PhD student within the MSCA-ITN grant on CHronic exposure scenarios driving enviRONmental rIsks of Chemicals, or CHRONIC. Kevin currently studies the Toxicokinetic and Toxicodynamic Mechanisms Underlying the Synergistic Interactions between Chemical and Multiple Stressors in Mixture Exposures.
This Ph.D. position is part of the CHRONIC project, an Innovative Training Network (ITN) funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). Grant n ̊: 956009
