Biography

Rosanne is a junior researcher in port economics at Erasmus UPT and graduated last year at the Erasmus School of Economics (ESE). In the past year, she was able to develop herself as a researcher at Erasmus UPT in the field of monitoring economic impact and designing educational products. She is now working on various research projects investigating current challenges regarding the port and maritime sector, such as the energy transition and digitalization.

Better maritime education through innovation

Rosanne has the ambition to further develop herself in education and wants to combine this with broadening her knowledge in port economy, shipping and water-related transition areas. She studies, among other things, industrial areas in transition, and she develops her skills in monitoring studies. She likes to incorporate knowledge that she gains in research projects together with her colleagues into innovative maritime education. Rosanne is currently working on a teaching case about the Ever Given, the ship that got stranded in the Suez Canal. This case can be used in a multidisciplinary manner for various maritime disciplines. She also works on online game simulations that contribute to achieving learning goals better.
