I'm Rik U. Lubbers.
PhD candidate at the University Medical Center Groningen. I model climate impacts on health systems in Uganda, and I build the platforms that make this kind of work visible.

Climate, Health, and the Data in Between.
My PhD at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) focuses on the intersection of healthcare accessibility, climate, and international aid in Uganda. I use spatial data to quantify what happens when extreme weather disrupts care-seeking pathways.
Every discipline. Every career stage.
I build for academics whose work exceeds what institutional profiles can communicate: whether that is geospatial epidemiology in Uganda, immunology research spanning two continents, or climate policy bridging academia and government. If your work advises, publishes, or consults, your platform should reflect that authority.
Spatial Modelling ↔ Web Architecture.
I approach web architecture like spatial modelling: clean data structures, no unnecessary complexity, total reproducibility. No WordPress, no fragile plugins. Only static, durable, and secure research platforms compiled to pure HTML and CSS.
