Kees is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University and leads the Exposure Science group at the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS). His scientific research focuses on spatial modelling and exposure assessment for studies on environment and health. His recent focus involves cutting edge fine resolution spatio-temporal modelling to derive refined exposures using satellite and ancillary data. He has been involved in a number of large projects (BioSHARE, ESCAPE, ELAPSE, EXPANSE and MOBI-AIR) where he co-led the environmental exposure assessment. Currently he leads the exposure work packages in STAGE, CUE-CAN and SHIELD.
Kees co-supervises Yifan Yang and Nina van Wilgen’s PhD’s, both related to improving exposure assessment of several external exposures using state-of-the-art techniques.
I want to identify and improve the assessment of key environmental exposures affecting the external exposome.

Air quality Environmental Epidemiology Exposure Assessment Exposure Science GIS
The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
