Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Climate & Ecosystem Sciences Division (CESD), working with Baptiste Dafflon. As an electrical engineer I am developing environmental sensor systems.

I hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Engineering Technology, Electronics from KU Leuven (Belgium). In 2017 I received a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Technology at the same university. From 2011 till 2019 I worked at the Dramco (ESAT) research group of KU Leuven. For my research I spent several months at h_da in Darmstadt (Germany) and I also worked as a postdoc at the UC Berkeley Wireless Research Center (California).

My research focuses on the development of sensor systems for monitoring above-ground and subsurface hydrogeophysical properties. I work on low power wireless sensor networks, next generation communication systems, embedded systems, and remote electromagnetic sensing.

   

Research Interests

My research interests lie in the domains of embedded systems and Radio Frequency (RF) applications. In particular, I focus on Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) like LoRa and 5G mMTC. I build applications for large scale measurements of soil temperature profiles, snow thickness, soil moisture, etc. In the RF domain, I work on RF signal processing, array processing, and antenna design. My research specifically focuses on electromagnetic sensing for subsurface resistivity monitoring.
