Professional experience
Joeri received his MSc degree at the University of Amsterdam in 2020. During that program, Joeri followed the research major writing three MSc thesis. The first project studied the attributes of facade gardens and their relation to herbivore insects in Amsterdam and The Hague. Followed by a literature thesis on the trait distribution over the rural-urban gradient. His final project is on the relationship between elections and tropical deforestation across the pan-tropics.
Research topic
Infrastructure in the urban environment. Here he asses the opportunities Green infrastructure presents in regards to biodiversity and human health.
