Translation

Apart from English & Italian at near-native proficiency (C2), he's familiar with Indonesian at advanced proficiency (C1). Being a bit of a language fan, he worked with French, Spanish & German at basic proficiency too. Subjects on education, nature conservation & the environment are favourite.

Research & publications

Close contacts with Indonesia have resulted in research on the reintroduction of the Bali myna in Nusa Penida (Bali), the Greater Bird-of-Paradise in Aru-Moluccas & the ancient story of Calon Arang in Bali. More to home, Dutch Golden Age painter Servaes Nouts, Latin-Roman civilisation, literature, family history & archaeology have his interest.
