Personal data
Short description
As an engineer and geoscientist, I am interested in sustainable water supply and the impact of climate change on groundwater, but also on urban infrastructure (e.g. heavy rainfall events, sponge city). To support the heat transition, we are investigating the storage of heat in the geological subsurface, which also includes advising municipalities and developers on the realization of their projects.
