Background
PostDoc: Airborne Eddy Covariance
Currently, I am working at the department of Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany. Here, I use airborne eddy covariance data from drones and small aircrafts to understand the environmental drivers for the exchange of carbon, methane and water vapour between the surface and the atmosphere. You can visit my GFZ-profile here.

PhD: Catchment Hydrology
During my PhD, I have worked at the Agrosphere institute (IBG-3, led by H. Vereecken) at the Research Center in Juelich, under supervision of Prof. Sander Huisman and Dr. Heye Bogena. My work focussed on the hydrological effects of deforestation in a small heavily monitored Wüstebach catchment in Germany, which is part of the TERENO framework. In 2015, I visited the research group of hydropedologist Dr. Henry Lin at Penn State University in State College. In February 2020, I successfully defended my PhD thesis.

Master: Earth Sciences (with distinction)
In my master Earth Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, I focused on hydrology/meteorology related topics and improved my computational skills. I participated in a half a year ERASMUS Semester, studying at the Freie Universität Berlin, where I followed courses in hydrology, hydrogeology, and simultaneously acquired German language skills.
In the end of my studies, I wrote my master thesis on the Possibilities and Limitations of Using Global Search Algorithms in Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) Inversion under supervision of Sander Huisman (Forschungszentrum Juelich) and Willem Bouten (University of Amsterdam).

Bachelor: Earth Sciences
During my Bachelor Earth Sciences (University of Amsterdam), I acquired basic knowledge and related skills in Earth Sciences (geology, soil science, hydrology, meteorology, ecology). I acquired basic field work skills (geomorphology, ecology, soil sciences) and computational skills (e.g. working with ArcGIS, ERDAS, ENVI, MATLAB, R).
During my bachelor studies, I volunteered in SARCA reptile conservation project in South Africa and did an internship at AMICTLAN, an organisation responsible for the protection of the nature reserve Laguna de Apoyo in Nicaragua.
