We develop and apply mathematical simulation models to investigate coupled processes relevant to the utilisation of the geological subsurface and mining regions to support energy transition.

Physical and chemical properties of geomaterials are central to our understanding of all geological process. To this end we employ well-established optical methods but also develop new time-resolved techniques that offer insights into the properties of crystals, rocks, and melts.

The management of highly radioactive waste is one of the most challenging environmental tasks of modern society. We are specialised in the quantification of geochemical processes, such as water-rock-interactions and sorption of radionuclides, in the subsurface, taking into account the entire hydrogeological system.
