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 was an international school providing courses on GIS and Remote Sensing to students from all around the world, ranging from short courses, through 2 yearĀ  MSc degree courses, as well as a PhD programmes.Ā Since 1 January 2010, ITC is a Faculty of the University of Twente. Currently I am Senior Lecturer -Researcher in cartographic visualisation and GIS in the Department of Geo-Information Processing ( GIP) at ITC.

My teaching subjects include Cartographic Theory, WebCartography and WebGIS, Geo-webservices, web application building and Visualisation Pipelines. Furthermore, I supervise 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.Ā
