Teaching
Master's thesis topics
I regularly offer Master's theses based on current research activities. Currently, for example, I am working on sustainable, near-natural stormwater treatment, natural solutions to reduce hydro-meterological risk, climate change adaptation (heavy rainfall and heat waves), multiple use of blue/green infrastructure, measurement technology (incl. visualisation of measurement data), modelling of drainage systems, system behaviour during extreme events and incidents.
Please contact me by email to arrange a personal meeting.
