Geohydrology
characterization of flow and transport in geological media, with special interest in multiphase flow, coupled processes and modeling of heterogeneous systems
Both fundamental questions as well as applications, that range from pollutant transport to energy research, geological storage of CO2, nuclear waste disposal and shale gas recovery
