Research interests:

My research focuses on hydrological data analysis and modelling, mainly in urban settings but also in natural catchments. I have worked a lot with real-time applications (monitoring, forecasting and control) of water quantity and quality in sewers and at wastewater treatment plants. Examples are:

• Short-range precipitation forecasts (NWP and radar nowcasts)
• Forecasting of flow and water quality in urban drainage systems.
• Merging continuous ISE signals with daily composite samples for improved NH₄⁺ monitoring in wastewater.
• Hydrodynamic modeling by linking Python and EPA SWMM5 models.
• Automatic data validation and model calibration.
• Assimilation of satellite-based altimetry observations in river runoff models.

I am currently doing an industrial postdoc as a collaboration between the Danish Meteorological Institute and DTU Environment. Here I work with early warning of floods and use of open weather data for hydrological purposes.

Teaching:

I have been part of the teaching teams for a range of different water-related courses:

• Introduction to climate change
• Stochastic hydrology
• Water resources management
• Integrated urban water quality management
• Advanced topics in urban water management
