Dr. Ir. S.J.A. (Steven) van der Linden

Profile

Starting from the 1st of September 2022, I (re)joined the Department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing as Assistant Professor on the topic of Urban Air Quality. Before, I was PostDoc at both the Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology in Cologne, Germany and at GRS. I also completed my PhD-research at GRS. 

 

Research

Clean air is vital for healthy and livable cities, especially considering the increasing global urbanization. The challenge of urban air quality is however complex, with processes interacting on multiple scales in a non-linear way. My research aims at understanding these interactions. The keyword in my research is “process-level understanding”, where the problem is reduced to manageable, yet realistic chunks, such that the essence can be described and understood. For this, I want to combine state-of-the-art models and observations.
