Before my current roles, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Public Governance Institute and the Spatial Application Division Leuven within KU Leuven. My academic journey has focused on the governance of environmental and digital policies in urban areas. My research covers a wide range of topics, including wastewater treatment policies, climate change adaptation, the transition towards climate-sensitive cities, circular economy, land policies, urban mobility, smart cities, open data, and European Interoperability. I explore the fascinating interplay between governance, digitalisation and environment, to identify how we can better address the challenges we face in water management and climate change adaptation in our cities.
