After completing a Bachelors degree in Global Sustainability Science and a Masters degree in Energy Science, both at Utrecht University, I have worked for seven months as a junior researcher at the Energy & Resources group of the Copernicus Institute, contributing to several projects. My main research was modelling pumped hydro electricity storage in an energy system model, and incorporating environmental impacts into a techno-economic optimization model. 

As of May 2024, I am a PhD-candidate, working in an international and interdisciplinary research project in close collaboration with South African partners. My work package focuses on the impacts of climate change on spatial inequality in water-energy-food security in South Africa. I will focus on coupling of hydrology, energy and crop models and climate projections on the scale of rural South Africa. Do you work in the same field or do you have tips for/questions on the research: please contact me!
