Personal profile
Research expertise
In 2023, I obtained my Master’s degree in Geography from KU Leuven, with a specialization in GIS and Earth & Climate. Afterwards, I completed the shortened Master’s program in Water Resources Engineering (KU Leuven), where I further deepened my knowledge of hydrology. Since February 2025, I have been working at INBO on several projects focusing on the Common Meuse, where I am mainly responsible for GIS work and spatial analyses.
