Although Remko Uijlenhoet’s publications cover the full range of hydrological science, his main research interests are (1) the measurement and parameterization of the space-time variability of rainfall using ground-based remote sensing techniques and (2) the development of opportunistic sensing techniques as a novel way to inform hydrological science and applications (Keynote lecture “Opportunistic sensing – tapping into new sources of hydrologic information”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=Em2wvxwKxtM, from 10:10 to 18:55, AGU Fall Meeting 2019). His research group was among the first in the world to apply microwave links from cellular communication networks for rainfall monitoring (https://doi.org/10.1029/2006WR005631) and was the first to demonstrate that such networks can provide near real-time monitoring of the space-time dynamics of rainfall at the scale of an entire densely populated country (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1217961110).

Remko Uijlenhoet is Professor of Hydrology in the Department of Water Management of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology. Before joining TU Delft (on November 1^st, 2020), he was Professor and Chair of the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management Group at Wageningen University & Research since 2007. Remko Uijlenhoet holds BSc, MSc and PhD degrees from Wageningen University. During his career, he spent a total of six years abroad, in the US (Beltsville, Princeton, Duke), France (Grenoble) and Spain (Barcelona).
