About this degree

I studied Geodesy—also known as Surveying or Geomatics—at TU Delft, one of Europe's leading technical universities. Geodesy is the science of accurately measuring and representing the Earth, including its shape, gravitational field, and the precise positioning of points on its surface. TU Delft's Master's program in Geodesy benefits from the university's strong interdisciplinary environment, particularly through connections with Mathematics and Architecture programs. The program demanded rigorous commitment—approximately 40 hours per week—reflecting TU Delft's high academic standards. This intensive training combined advanced mathematics, physics, and cutting-edge geospatial technologies to address real-world challenges in mapping, navigation, infrastructure development, and climate monitoring. My studies equipped me with expertise in spatial data analysis, precise measurement techniques, and the representation of geographic information—skills that inform my current artistic practice. The interdisciplinary nature of geodesy, bridging technical precision with spatial representation, continues to influence how I approach my work.
