Research

In my work, I develop knowledge, methods and processes for systemic interventions that aim to facilitate better decision making in the water sector.

I endorse systems thinking and operations research as well as insights from the social and behavioural sciences.

The direct engagement of stakeholder into research and the training of current and future water managers in a way that enables them to embrace complexity are key priorities to me.
