Scientific interests

Groundwater-surface water interactions – flow and geogenic contaminants transport.

Redox processes in groundwater – mobilization/fate of arsenic, phosphor and radionuclides.

Paleohydrogeology – changes in water chemistry related to aquifers evolution and climate change.

Modeling of processes in the deep subsurface – geothermal plants, CO₂ and nuclear waste storage.

Numerical modelling – geology, flow, chemistry.
