Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaarten Braakhekke is an environmental modeller with seven years of professional experience applying numerical models to terrestrial ecosystem and biogeochemical questions. Based at Wageningen Environmental Research, he develops, maintains and applies models for environmental risk assessment with a strong foundation in soil carbon cycling from his PhD and early research at the Max Planck Institute. His work has broadened from carbon to nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics and now spans vegetation, groundwater, surface water and managed landscapes like croplands and pastures. As a former freelance researcher he has led projects on global forest carbon sequestration and forest–peatland interactions, combining model development with data analysis. Known for translating detailed process understanding into practical tools, he brings both deep academic training and hands-on modelling experience to policy-relevant environmental questions.
