I am a hydro-climatologist working in the field of Water & Climate Information Services (WCIS) for society and co-developing research-based, tailor-made information services with and for end-users. The main question that drives me, is:

“How can we harness the potential of hydroclimatic information and knowledge sharing platforms and combine them with local knowledge from societal actors to deliver actinable knowledge to support adaptive decision-making?”

To answer that question, I am working towards combining data-driven and user-driven approaches for tailored water and climate information services by:

(1) further understanding of the integration of local knowledge in the provision of hydroclimatic information;

(2) understanding the role of co-production and co-creation within the design and delivery of the WCIS as well as the role of capacity building within those processes;

(3) Develop data-based information services;

(4) understanding the mechanisms that provide actionable knowledge to support adaptive decision-making.

I coordinate the 4-year HORIZON-RIA SAFE4ALL (https://www.safe4allafrica.eu/) that co-innovates a suite of Climate Services for Sub-Saharan Africa.

I am and participating in the HORIZON MSCA-Staff Exchange ClearClimate (https://clear-climate.com/) and the HORIZON-IA Path4Med (https://www.path4med.eu/) as a Work Package leader.

I am involved as a Work Package leader in the NWO Dutch-India LODESTAR project together with colleagues from the SSG-WUR and in the NWA Dutch-Bangladesh ADM CRAFT project together with colleagues from WEnR.

I am also involved in several C3S contracts related with Water, Agriculture, as well as Enhancing User Intelligence and developing mini MOOCs of the C3S services.
