Hans ULENS Vrije Universiteit Brussel M.Sc. in Advanced Studies in Marine and Lacustrine Science, Universiteit Gent (UG), 2003

Research Interests

Hans worked for a short while on the CALMARs project for his M.Sc. in Advanced Studies in Marine and Lacustrine Science at
Gent University. He worked under the supervision of David Gillikin and Frank Dehairs on stable isotopes and elemental concentrations in Saxidomus giganteus from Puget Sound Washington, USA. After obtaining the grade of greatest distinction on his thesis, he has moved back to working in the non-academic world.
