Nils is a research fellow for the Senseable City Lab Amsterdam (SCA). He is part of the teams for computer vision and outdoor thermal comfort. He links innovative data collection methods with people's well-being. He is currently analyzing how people move between shade and sun in public places. Living in Amsterdam, Nils experiences the impact of heatwaves even in this comparably green and blue city. Nils believes that understanding the implications of climate change on citizens' mobility behavior helps in designing adaptation measures, but also highlights the need for climate change mitigation.
