I am a scientist in urban water management, interested in numerical modelling of drainage and supply systems including systems analysis, uncertainties and model calibration. I try to understand consequences of upcoming challenges as climate change or aging infrastructure and find solutions for adaptation, mitigation and rehabilitation. I see urban water systems as integral part of the city and they need to be analysed in the context of a constantly changing environment. 

• Research Interests:

  • Challanges in the future development of urban water management (e.g. aging infrastructure, climate change, land-use change, growing and shrinking cities)
    
  • Urban water management
  • Uncertainties in urban drainage modelling
