Academic & Teaching

Teaching has been a central part of my work, both in university settings and in international training contexts.

At Wageningen University, I contributed to remote sensing and advanced Earth Observation courses and developed the Geo-Scripting course, introducing computational approaches to geospatial analysis. The course materials are open-source and continue to be used internationally.

I supervised PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with a focus on independence, collaboration, and scientific curiosity.

More recently, I have focused on targeted guest teaching and lecturing, including a 2026 course in Brazil.

Topics I can teach

I regularly teach and present on the following themes:

Earth Observation principles and applications
Copernicus services and ESA EO programmes
Time series analysis and change detection
Open-source approaches and reproducible EO workflows
AI and geospatial data, including emerging foundation models and digital twin contexts

Coaching & mentoring

My coaching style aims to create clarity and momentum: defining a strong research question, mapping the path from method to contribution, and building confidence in writing and presenting.

I particularly enjoy mentoring at the interface between science, operations, and policy—where framing and communication matter as much as technical rigour.

Potential engagements

I am open to:

Guest professorships and guest lectures
Short courses and tailored trainings
Academic coaching (research framing, writing, positioning, career transitions)
Advisory work on EO programme uptake and user engagement
