Responsibilities

As a professor in Maritime & Transport at Delft University Technology, I am active in research and education to achieve the climate ambitions for the emission-intensive transportation sector. I am convinced that transdisciplinary innovations (involving industry, policymakers, research institutes, and NGOs) and educated people with cross-disciplinary skills are instrumental to confronting the climate challenges of our time.

As a Pact Ambassador, I commit to activating as many individuals and groups as I possibly can to achieve the climate targets in the transportation sector, within the year to come. To this end, I will (1) develop an open-access online course (TU Delft MOOC) on decarbonising transport, (2) I will found an international project task force to promote a roadmap for net zero emissions ports, and (3) I will initiate an online webinar series on decarbonising the maritime sector to connect maritime users to innovators with climate solutions.
