Meet José
Since September 2022, I have been working as a junior researcher and consultant at Dialogic. In 2021, I completed my research master's in Environmental Biology at Utrecht University. During my master's, I conducted research on social behaviour, specifically focusing on tolerance behaviour in non-related dyads and the cognitive development of different primates. I collected a significant amount of primary data and designed and carried out experiments, including in a national park in South Africa. I come from a Liberal Arts and Science background, having studied at University College Utrecht, which has equipped me with knowledge in addition to biology, such as environmental science, sustainability, and anthropology. My interests lie in the areas of science and innovation policy, sustainability, and education, but I am eager to expand my knowledge and skills into other domains. In my free time, I enjoy making music and play the first violin in a Utrecht orchestra, as well as woodcarving, canoeing, and sailing. I also love exploring new places to appreciate culture and nature while travelling.
