Research Interests

• Groundwater-surface water interactions
• Numerical modelling and uncertainty analysis of groundwater flow and solute transport processes
• Hydrological extremes and their interaction with human activities
• Interdisciplinary research on climate resilience & water security and WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene), with a particular interest in groundwater resources in Southern Africa and South-east Asia.

Current Research

Connect4 water resilience: connecting water resources, communities, drought and flood hazards, and governance across 4 countries in the Limpopo basin

Chalk Aquifer Management (CHARM) project to better understand the capacity of the Chalk aquifer in Belgium and the impact of different users.
