Processes and remediation strategies in contaminated aquifers:
Modelling of biodegradation and bioremediation (EU project MIBIREM)
Developing removal strategies for PFAS (UU project PFAS living lab)
Describing transport and inactivation of virus
Hydrogeology in practicle applications:
Erosion of silicate grouting in construction pits (NWO funded project SilPit)
Heat transport in the subsurface: Local thermal non-equilibrium (cooperation with DfG funded project LTNE at University Halle)
Upscaling of subsurface flow and transport parameters
Studying scaling effects of hydraulic conductivity (including the use of Machine Learning)
Impact of aquifer heterogeneity on field scale flow and transport
Linking flow and transport characteristics at pore scale level to field scale properties, e.g. hydraulic conductivity, porosity, diffusion coefficients, tortuosity and dispersion
Data analysis and development of field data interpretation techniques
Identifying reliable parameters for modelling field scale dispersion
methods for interpreting statistical parameters of aquifer heterogeneity in well flow configuration, e.g. pumping test or dipole tests
