- 2021 - ongoing. 'Water as Leverage' for urban climate resilience in coastal areas. PhD research project with Aryani Chandramidi, prof. Jos Arts, dr. ir. Annet Kempenaar, Henk Ovink/Special Envoy for International Water Affairs and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). Funding: Faculty of Spatial Sciences/RVO.
- 2021 - ongoing. 'Spatial quality in flood risk management' (Dutch name: 'RuiKwa-LAB, 'Ruimtelijke kwaliteit in waterveiligheidsbeheer'). This project aims at investigating how spatial quality can be secured in current dike reinforcement projects from the National Flood Protection Programme to create more resilient water safety landscapes. The project is a cooperation between the RUG and Wageningen University, crowd-funded by several Dutch water boards and consultancy agencies. See for more information: https://www.rug.nl/research/ursi/ruikwalab/. Together with Prof. Jos Arts and Dr. Britta Restemeyer (postdoc researcher).
