Biography
I work for Wageningen UR since 1997 in the area of animal breeding. My interests are: i) numerical genetics/genomics, ii) linking practical and theoretical animal breeding and iii) connecting people (and science). Examples of exciting projects are: i) the1000 bull genome project, ii) Global Methane Genetrics initiative, and iii) Breed4Food
Next to my scientific interests, I have practical involvement with dairy cattle breeding organisations in several countries.
In 2012 I became extraordinary professor at Wageningen University, and have been head of Animal Breeding and Genomics of Wageningen Livestock Research since 2002. In 2013 I became a part time Professor position at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (till 2018) and I am visiting professor at SRUC in Scotland. Where I served as researcher from 1991 to1997, and graduated for my PhD in 1995.
