Personal profile
Research
I have a background as a bovine practitioner. I am professor of management of production diseases in livestock herds, and primarily do research in health and welfare in dairy cows. I conduct applied research focussing on optimizing the welfare of cows - and, at the same time, develop tools to help dairy farmers in their daily work and optimize productivity. I take a great pride in dissemination of my research to a broad public.
