Research interests: Mathematical modeling of biological systems based on the underlying mechanisms with focus on fish bioenergetics, phytoplankton physiology, mixotrophy and ecophysiology. The overarching theme of all of my projects is the use of a unified biological theory: the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory.

Current research:
• Bio-energetics with emphasis on the impact of climate changes (CC) and stressors on fish bio-energetics.
• Aquaculture Applications: Developing modeling tools for designing experiments in aquaculture research facilities - Virtual laboratories.
• Mixotrophy with emphasis on ecophysiology of mixotrophs and their impact on marine pelagic food webs
• Developing/testing/teaching DEBtool & AmPtool software packages (in close collaboration with several European research groups and as a member of the board of curators https://www.bio.vu.nl/thb/deb/deblab/add_my_pet/index.html)
