Tom PINCEEL

Tom is a Post doctoral fellow with the FWO with host institutions VUB and KULeuven. His VUB supervisor is Prof. Bram Vanschoenwinkel . Tom works, among other topics, on risk spreading strategies in animals often using organisms from temporary ponds as model systems. Recently he has been involved in a number papers that try to model potential effects of climate change on the demography of organisms in variable environments. In 2018 he received an extension of his FWO fellowship which ensures his continued funding until 2021.
