I am a senior scientist at SRON Space Research Organisation Netherlands and a guest professor at the Institute for Environmental Physics, University Heidelberg. At SRON, I am heading a research group focusing on atmospheric remote sensing of trace gases from TANGO, TROPOMI, S5, and GOSAT observations. We developed the algorithm and SW for the operational CO and CH4 data processing of the Sentinel-5P and Sentinel 5 mission and demonstrated higher-level data applications of S5P CO and CH4 data. I am a member of the S4/S5 and CO2M mission advisory group and advising AIRMO on a future greenhouse gas mission. I led and contributed to many projects, including several for ESA and EUMETSAT. My scientific focus is on atmospheric radiative transfer, measurement inversion techniques and the design of new measurement concepts and instrument specifications. With much pleasure, I give regularly courses on radiative transfer and inversion theory to master students.
