I am interested in supporting the integration of the urban water cycle into the general urban planning process with modelling tools. In this context, I currently strongly focus on the assessment of flood risk and the testing of flood adaptation options in various potential urban developments and climate scenarios. I apply both, detailed and statistical modelling techniques and I have experience with time series techniques for short-term forecasting from my PhD and previous projects on controlling urban drainage systems.

My current work is part of the WaterSmartCities project (WSC, Innovationsfonden, Denmark) and the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities (Melbourne, Australia).

Important Projects

• Water Smart Cities (2016-) (at DTU)
  Modelling the urban water system for strategic planning under deep uncertainty and with various stakeholders
• CRC for Water Sensitive Cities (2014-2016) (at DTU)
  Flood Modelling in conjunction with urban development modelling, flood damage analysis, experimental design
• OMOVAST (2014-2016) (at Krüger AS)
  Implementation of a 1D-2D model based urban flood warning system for Copenhagen
• RTC Wilhelmshaven (2009-2010) (at itwh)
  Design and implementation of a rule-based, global control system for 2 overflow pumping stations and one gate
• FOG (2008-2010) (at itwh)
  Conceptual design of a GIS interface for the hydraulic model Hystem-Extran, coordination with programmers and testing
