My passion for natural history began when I was nine, living in Egypt. After obtaining an MSc at Leiden University in 1998 (cum laude), I worked on African and European Odonata at the National Museum of Natural History (now NCB Naturalis). I obtained a PhD at Leiden University (2007) with accumulated work on the taxonomy and biogeography of African Odonata, publishing over forty papers (since 2002), and shared the Worldwide Dragonfly Association outstanding achievement award (2005). Systematic, phylogenetic, evolutionary, biogeographic and ecological research continues, especially on Palaeotropical Zygoptera with DAWN (Damselfly Workers Naturalis).
