As a research assistant, I develop hydro- and engineering geological software, supervise the engineering geological and organic-hydrochemical laboratories as well as the field equipment and teach a wide range of courses in applied geology. Over the last 40 years or so, I have very much enjoyed my experiences in development and application.

Focus Areas:

Quantitative and qualitative hydrogeology, modelling in hydro-, environmental and engineering geology, interfaces modelling systems, groundwater protection
