Personal profile

Research profile

Most of my studies I conducted at TU Delft, obtaining my BSc in Applied Physics and my MSc in Environmental Engineering. During this time I developed a particular interest in the physics behind environmental sensing methods. Both in my BSc and MSc I attended fieldwork courses in geophysics at UNIS, Svalbard, and my MSc thesis is based experimental work during the LIAISE field campaign. 

My research focuses on experimentally investigating land-vegetation-atmosphere interactions at the field scale with fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS). Using DTS and accompanying instrumentation I design and conduct field experiments aimed to get a better understanding of the spatial element of these interactions. For this I am involved in several projects with topics such as forest evaporation, agricultural drought and better surface energy balance closure.
