Research Interests

I am a graduate geologist and have been working for almost 20 years as a post doc at the Department of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology. My research interests form intersections of all teaching areas, which I have been able to teach and develop my knowledge in during the last years. This concerns the remediation and exploration of contaminated sites, the investigation of landfills and their transfer to the aftercare phase, environmental geotechnical issues such as tailings planning and the establishment of brownfield management. The core of these issues is the prevention of the spread of pollutants into the environmental media. A new addition is the monitoring of these environmental media, such as surface water and soil. As a measuring method, we are testing and developing a laser-induced spectrometer, which, with the help of AI software, is able to assign spectra to specific substances and determine their concentration.
