I joined them because after learning about natural sciences and the academic world, it was time to master the world of <em>business<\/em> and further develop my <em>organizational<\/em> and <em>people<\/em> skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2017-2021 I obtained a <em>PhD<\/em> doing <em>bio-informatics<\/em> research at Hasselt University and VITO.

I&#8217;m always up for discussing ethics, politics, science, phsychology, philosophy, &#8230; anything useful or peculiar, really. During my holidays you can find me in the mountains or in other adventurous places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How I see myself? As an optimistic realist who is always in for a laugh and a silly joke, but also adheres great importance to speaking truth with accuracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recent posts Who am I?","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-106","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125,"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106\/revisions\/125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jorisvanhoutven.be\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
