Hello,

I’m Samuel

I am an expert in natural hazard forecasting and climate information services, with a specialization in compound extremes, their impacts, and climate adaptation. I have been involved in numerous projects across Indonesia and Europe. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching and supervising students.

Currently I am working at Earth Systems and Global Change (ESC) group, Wageningen University and Research (WUR) as an Assistant Professor (UD1) in Compound Hydrological Extremes and Climate Services.

About me

I am a scientist with a passion for shaping future leaders and making the world a better place by reducing the impacts of natural hazards. In my free time, I enjoy playing badminton and tennis, as well as road biking.

I studied Civil Engineering at Parahyangan Catholic University in Bandung, Indonesia, with a major in Hydrology and Hydraulics. I completed my master’s degree in Hydrology and Water Resources at UNESCO-IHE Delft, the Netherlands and obtained my PhD from the Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry group at Utrecht University, the Netherlands.
