Hi, my name is Christiaan Kooyman. I was born in Hengelo , the Netherlands , where I studied ecology at the Agricultural University of Wageningen (nowadays Wageningen University and Research Centre ). After my Master's graduation I moved to Africa , where I have worked ever since in many countries (countries of residence: Nigeria , Kenya , Sudan , Niger , Benin , Senegal and Morocco ). Most of my jobs involved aspects of entomology . Since 1996, I consider myself an entomopathologist (insect pathologist ). My current job is technical advisor in the R&D department of the biopesticide and biofertilizer company ÉLÉPHANT VERT, based in Meknès , Morocco. I am acting head of the bio-insecticide section, where we develop products containing entomopathogenic fungi .
