Summary
Luuk Van Agtmaal is a hydrogeologist with eight years' experience who blends field-first subsurface investigation skills with practical coding to streamline data processing and 3D model input generation. Comfortable alternating between 2–3 days in the field collecting groundwater and drill-core data and 2–3 days in the office analyzing it, he brings both hands-on observation and rigorous data workflows to projects. His PhD work at ETH Zürich explored coupling geodynamics, landscape evolution, climate and biodiversity models, giving him a systems-level perspective on environmental change. A self-taught programmer who builds internal Python and Excel tools to make modellers’ lives easier (and occasionally prototypes games), he focuses on pragmatic automation that reduces repetitive lab and logging tasks. Highly communicative and a good listener, he excels at interdisciplinary collaboration on construction, revitalisation and contamination investigations across the Zurich region.
