I hold an MSc in Geography, specialising in Cartography, from Utrecht University in The Netherlands. I worked for 9 years as a Lecturer in Cartography at that university and then moved to the International Institute for Geo-information Sciences and Earth Observation ( ITC) in 1997. The ITC is an international school providing courses on GIS and Remote Sensing to students from all around the world, ranging from short courses, through 2 year  MSc degree courses, as well as a PhD programmes. Since 1 January 2010, ITC is a Faculty of the  University of Twente. Currently I am Senior Lecturer -Researcher in GIS and cartographic visualisation in the Department of Geo-Information Processing ( GIP) at ITC, and at the University College Twente.

My teaching subjects include Cartographic Theory, WebCartography and WebGIS, Geo-webservices, web application building and Visualisation Pipelines. Furthermore, I supervise Bachelor Capstones and MSc theses. I also am coordinator of the thesis semester of the Erasmus Mundus Joined Master in Cartography that UT-ITC runs together with the Technical Universities of Munich, Dresden and Vienna. I am also a member of the core team of the ATLAS Bachelor of the University College Twente.
