Biography
Philip Kraaijenbrink (1987) obtained a cum laude master degree in Physical Geography at Utrecht University (February 2013, Earth Observation and Natural Hazards track). In his graduation research, he focused on river morphodynamics through multi-temporal object-based analysis of Landsat imagery. His research, heart for computer analyses and eagerness to learn in this field made him an expert in advanced image classification techniques and highly skilled in GIS analyses. As part of his masters he also did an eight-month internship at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), in which he became knowledgeable on climate data analysis, statistical downscaling and R scripting. After graduation Philip started as a junior researcher at Utrecht University on a pilot study aimed at monitoring Himalayan glacier dynamics using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Subsequent to a temporary position at the consulting firm FutureWater in Wageningen, Philip started as a PhD Candidate at Utrecht University in 2014 on a follow-up project of the UAV pilot study.
