Once Lise Soetemans decides to take on a new challenge, she does so with great enthusiasm, a goal-oriented focus, and a creative mind. She is a hard worker but also values good colleagues, a pleasant chat, and some humor in the workplace. During her PhD, where a new biorefinery approach for insects was developed, a passion was ignited and her current research is on the potential of insects to strengthen the agricultural sector. This is for her, coming from a farming family, a topic close to her heart.
