I am a Postdoctoral researcher interested in underground thermal storage and its interactions with groundwater and the subsurface.

About me

Civil Engineer with expertise in Geotechnical engineering and Water resources management. I obtained a PhD in Environmental engineering at the ETH Zurich, focusing on the study of solute flow, transport, and mixing in porous media under unsaturated conditions. I posses a strong background in numerical modelling across different scales for hydrogeology, solute transport, and geotechnical applications. Currently, I am in charge of the management of the ARTS project (Aquifer Reaction to Thermal Storage), created in collaboration with federal and cantonal authorities. In addition, I have been supporting teaching and students supervision at the ETH Zurich during the past years.
