Steven Pint is an ecologist by training, who graduated in 2018 at VUB (MSc Biology - Ecology & Biodiversity). MSc thesis topic was an individual-based model on the foraging of wading birds. He’s experienced in R scripting and ecosystem modelling (IBM, food web model). Previous topics are air-sea carbon flux in the Belgian Continental Shelf and estimating primary production using fast repetition rate fluorometry (FRRF) data. Currently working on the EMBENS project, building an ecosystem-based model of long-term data from the Belgian part of the North Sea.
