After his undergraduate degree in bioengineering at the University of Wageningen, Maarten moved to the UK for his graduate studies at the University of Cambridge. He started working on the question of how animals are capable of movement during his neuroscience PhD in the department of Zoology, followed by postdoctoral research positions at the HHMI Janelia Research Campus, USA. Maarten is currently running his own research group with a great team of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience, in beautiful St Andrews, where he lives with Sonja and Freya.
