Teachers

Sebastian Rubbert

Sebastian Rubbert is a PhD student working in the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience at TU Delft, after graduating from RWTH Aachen. During his bachelor and master studies, he investigated feedback in spin qubits and long range interactions in superconducting circuits.

Dr.ir. J. Rueda Torres

Dr.ir. Tineke Ruijgh-van der Ploeg

Tineke Ruijgh is a lecturer in the Policy Analysis section. She coordinates and teaches two capstone, project-oriented courses in the SEPAM Bachelor and Masters programs. Both courses challenge students to address real-world problems in socio-technical systems, either by problem-structuring and carrying out quantitative research or by making an integrated design.

Prof.dr.ir. Herman Russchenberg

Herman is full professor in Atmospheric Remote Sensing and head of the Department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing. He is also Director of the TU Delft Climate Institute. He obtained his PhD in 1992 with a thesis on Doppler-polarimetric radar research of precipitation.

Martine Rutten

Martine Rutten is associate professor Water Management and Climate adaptation. She has a background in civil engineering with specializations Hydraulic Engineering (ETHZurich) and Water resources management (TUDelft) and a PhD degree on remote sensing for water resources management. Parallel to her PhD she developed education programs for Integrated water resources management at Lentiz Vocational university, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and universities abroad. This broad integrated perspective is also reflected in her research portfolio which spans a wide set of topics, from nexus modelling, to optimal control to citizen science. She has a strong background in transdisciplinary learning for water resources management and vast experience with learning communities and living labs.

In September 2019 she started the Delta Futures lab. The Delta Futures lab is a multidisciplinary network for MSc-students, staff and practice with the ambition to become interdisciplinary leaders in spatial design, engineering and governance of deltas. The Lab unites master students, researchers and professionals in multidisciplinary projects. It enriches and supports master students in becoming the mission-oriented engineers that future delta societies need. More information can be found on deltafutureslab.org.

She is also acting as scientific lead and learning community coordinator for the theme Climate Adaptation at The Green Village. At TGV she conducts transdisciplinary research together with different academic disciplines, applied universities, vocation education, entrepreneurs, municipalities, water boards, provinces and other actors in this field.

Dr.mr. Nienke Saanen

Teacher of the year 2012 TPM | Nienke Saanen received her PhD in 2013 on the topic of State Aid and Public Values in the Transport Sector. Her thesis was focused on the way the European Commission dealt with the tension between the EU prohibition on granting state aid en the need of safeguarding certain public values by granting state aid.
