I lead the Center of Expertise in Big Geodata (CRIB) at Faculty ITC and perform research on geospatial big data, cloud computing, and research data management. I'm also an expert on the design and development of geocomputing platforms, information systems, and large-scale web application. I have designed and developed ITC's Geospatial Computing Platform, and European Commission's Natech Database ( eNatech) and Rapid Natech Risk Assessment and Mapping System (RAPID-N).
