ECR Spotlight – Pulkit Goyal

Abstract

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Pulkit Goyal is an author on ‘ Bumblebees compensate for the adverse effects of sidewind during visually guided landings’, published in JEB. Pulkit conducted the research described in this article while a PhD candidate in Prof. Florian Muijres's lab at the Experimental Zoology Group, Wageningen University and Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands. He is now a Vision R&D Engineer in the lab of Dr Richard van der Stam at ASMPT Semiconductor Solutions, Beuningen, The Netherlands, investigating dynamics and control systems, and its applicability in a variety of fields.
