Portrait: Marc Van Liedekerke
| Marc Van Liedekerke received
an MSc. degree in Elektrotechnical Engeneering from the State
University of Ghent (B) in 1983 and an MSc. in Informatics from
the same university in 1984. He has been an assistant professor
at the Catholic University of Leuven (1984-1986) performing research
in the fields of medical image enhancement and industrial visual
inspection. Marc joined the European Commission Joint Research Centre in 1987. From 1987 to 1993 he has been active in the emerging fields of Distributed Artificial Intelligence and Graphical User Interface programming through participation in the ESPRIT projects. Since then he has specialized in data and information management for large environmentally oriented projects, for which he integrates databases and models with Geographical Information Systems and scientific visualization components, which are then made on-line accessible in the Web environment. In 1998 he joined the Soil & Waste Unit of the JRC Environment Institute where he has contributed to the development of Policy Relevant indicators in the domain of locally contaminated sites. In support to DG SANCO and European Member States (industry and regulatory bodies), he has developed and operates still the FOCUS Information System and Helpdesk in the area of the registration of plant protection products. Marc played a central role in the development of the Euroharp database and applications, a research project in the area of the EU Water Framework Directive. Recently, he has contributed to the development of the European LCA Platform, an initiative by DG ENV. His role in SOIL is twofold: to be the technical responsible for the set-up of the European Soil Data Centre and to take care of the proper distribution of soil related data and information through digital means. |
