Jelle obtained his master’s degree in bioscience engineering: chemistry and technology at Ghent University in 2021. After graduating, he did an IOF project on the development and testing of natural product-based compounds as potential new herbicides. Currently he is working as a PhD researcher on the ODORETION project and focuses on the identification of fungal volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) and their relation to plant growth promotion under biotic and abiotic stresses. The project is funded by VLAIO and his supervisors are Kris Audenaert, Sven Mangelinckx and Willem Desmedt.
