More information about Laurens Arp

Laurens started as a PhD student in January 2021 under the supervision of dr. Mitra Baratchi, Prof.dr. Holger Hoos and Prof.dr. Peter van Bodegom. Prior to this, he obtained his MSc at Leiden University in 2020, and his BSc Lifestyle Informatics at VU Amsterdam in 2018.Laurens' research is funded by an NWO ENW-KLEIN grant awarded to dr. Mitra Baratchi for her project named "Physics-aware Spatio-temporal Machine Learning for Earth Observation Data", which involves a collaboration with the European Space Agency. The goal of the project is to create hybrid models of mutually interacting environmental processes on Earth, combining theory-driven physical models and data-driven machine learning models using Earth observation data.
