Research interests

• Multiphase flow in porous media
• Intra- and inter- phase reactive mass transfer
• Experiments and numerical simulations at the pore-scale
• Thermal-hydrologic-chemical coupled modeling
• Geological storage of carbon dioxide
• Remediation of NAPL-contaminated aquifers
• Aquifer thermal energy storage

Current projects

• Since 2023 “GeoTES” : Possibilities and limits of thermal energy storage in deep aquifers (geo-reservoirs) as part of the Heat transition 2030 (funded by BBF)
• Since 2019 “KIS tracer” : Smart tracer techniques for investigating the dynamic of fluid-fluid interfacial area in multiphase porous media systems. (funded by DFG)
