Research focus
- National and regional scale drinking water (DW) and groundwater (GW) quality assessments, incl.
- DW: compliance with regulation, temporal and spatial trends, exposure
- GW: River Basin Management Plan 3 (Vandplan 3) qualitative status, vulnerability, natural background levels
- Knowledge discovery through data mining, statistical and geostatistical modelling, with a focus on large and complex water quality datasets
- Development of reproducible workflows with detailed documentation, and effective data-communication
- Expertise in dealing with data from the national well database Jupiter
