Research Interests:

• experimental rock physics/ fluid physics at simulated in-situ conditions
  
• fluid-rock interaction in the subsurface and its impact on the hydraulic, elastical, electrical and capillary properties of reservoir rocks under consideration of chemical and microstructural changes
  
• fluid transport properties in porous media
• supercritial fluids
• development of new experimental methodologies
  

Career:

since 2009:    Research Associate, German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), Potsdam in 
                     the section Gethermal Energy Systems (fromerly Reservoir Technologies)
2005 – 2009:  Post-Doc, German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), Potsdam in the section
                     Chemistry and Physics of Geomaterials
