Bas did his undergrad in Biology at Wageningen UR in the Netherlands. After Bas achieved his BSc degree he stayed in Wageningen for his MSc degree in Biology with a specialisation in Conservation and Systems Ecology. For his Master thesis Bas studied the role of connectivity in determining the resilience and stability of complex spatial networks and did an internship at the University of Reading, where he worked with individual based models that described the growth and behaviour of cockles in the Bury Inlet (South Wales). The six months prior to the start of his PhD Bas worked as an ecological modeller, performing risk assessment for small mammals at Syngenta in Bracknell.
