I work in the crossfield between plants, soil microorganisms and soil microfauna.

Specifically, I address

• the impact of microbial communities on plant pathogenic nematodes
• interactions between plants and belowground phytomicrobiomes
• the significance of nematode and protist predation for phytomicrobiome composition and functioning

Master's thesis projects

I supervise thesis projects on, but not limited to

• biology and management of plant pathogenic nematodes
• biological control of plant pathogenic nematodes
• the significance of root microbiomes on plant growth
