I am interested in spatio-temporal analysis focused on hydrological extremes (drought and flood), machine learning, data visualization, data analysis, data management, hydrological modelling, remote sensing, development of GIS-based applications and water accounting. These lines of research have arisen during different stages of my academic and professional journey.
Motivated to advance spatio-temporal change detection over big data with high computing, I pursue a postdoc at TU Delft, funded by the NL Science Centre within the Innovative eScience Technologies (eTEC) call. My research focused on optimising change detection methods using massive point cloud data, leading to a new approach for rapid and efficient execution directly on point cloud data without intermediate data conversion.
