An engineer and researcher specializing in hydrology, river systems, and nature-based solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation. Her work focuses on enhancing landscape water retention through integrated modelling of land-water systems and hybrid green-grey measures for flood and drought resilience. She has particular expertise in floodplain dynamics, wetlands, and ecosystem-based processes. She combines quantitative modelling with stakeholder engagement to support adaptive water management and policy-relevant solutions.
She is currently involved in three research projects: Future FRM Tech, MANABAS, and Saltgarden, contributing to innovative approaches for resilient water and landscape systems through NbS. Her recent work includes a literature review and expert interviews on hybrid assessment frameworks for flood risk management, with a focus on evaluating multifunctional benefits and trade-offs. She is also conducting ongoing research on the bordering lakes around the polders or more specifically know as the 'Vergetten Randmeer', exploring opportunities to strengthen ecological quality, water resilience, and regional adaptation pathways.
Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
