dr.ir. R.B.A. ter Huurne (Ramon)

Ramon ter Huurne is an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente. His research focuses on digitalization efforts related to the network of buried cables and pipes, also known as subsurface utilities. Specifically, Ramon investigates how available digital technologies can facilitate and support the accurate and reliable acquisition of information about the location, geometry, and type of these utilities. Additionally, his work explores the modeling of 'digital twins' for spatial underground networks, using concepts such as artificial intelligence, domain ontologies, semantic data models, and linked data.

Ramon actively brings the insights from his research into the projects he is involved in, ensuring that innovative research is translated into practical, impactful solutions. He contributes to lifelong learning initiatives focused on digitalizing and accelerating the energy transition. He is also part of the ZoARG | ReDUCE program, which aims to reduce excavation damages and promote careful excavation
