Function and Responsibilities:

Since 2025 I am working as a postdoc at the GLM group at GFZ. For my PhD at Delft University of Technology I worked on using multitemporal terrestrial laser scanning for the analysis of dynamics of the sediment surface on the Dutch coast. Before that I worked as mission performance engineer for the Sentinel-6 Mission at ESA (ESTEC) on mission requirements as well as simulations to support mission performance and ground processing prototypes.

Research Interests:

  • Multiscale Lidar
  • Multitemporal Lidar
  • Combining different sensors and data types
  • Validation of above ground biomass
