Antoine Cribellier

Antoine Cribellier is a Researcher in the Department of Experimental Zoology at Wageningen University & Research, focusing on the biomechanics and neuroethology of mosquito flight behavior. His work bridges entomology, neuroscience, and computational biology to understand vector-host interactions.

• Primary affiliation: Wageningen University & Research
• Secondary collaboration: Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé (IRSS)

His research explores:

• Mosquito escape responses to human and environmental threats
• 3D flight kinematics using machine learning tools like DeepLabCut
• Sensory integration in swarming behavior
• Microclimate and land-use impacts on vector adaptation

Recent publications highlight his expertise in mosquito aerodynamics and smart trapping technologies. Notable awards include the SEB Robert McNeill Alexander Prize 2022 for outstanding contributions.

As co-promotor, he advises PhD candidates studying:

• van den Bogaard, A. (Microclimate selection by mosquitoes)
• Pinda, P. (Vector adaptation to climate change)
