About

I currently hold a position as a group leader (equivalent to assistant professor or junior professor) at the Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, TU Braunschweig, Germany, which is funded by the Emmy-Noether starting grant from the German Research Foundation. Starting August 1st, 2023, I will take on the Chair of Multiphase Flows at the Department of Hydrosciences, TU Dresden, Germany. My research interests cover sediment transport in environmental and geophysical flows and their analysis by means of numerical simulations of hydraulic-mechanically coupled systems and innovative experimental techniques. A particular focus is put on High Performance Computing of Computational Fluid Dynamics and multiphase flows in hydraulic engineering and fluvial processes.
