Prof. Devloo
Philippe Devloo is since 1992 professor of environmental sciences at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Campinas/BRAZIL. He is a guest at the Department of HydromEchanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems from May 2, 2022 to July 31, 2022. His stay is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service.
Philippe Devloo made his undergraduate studies in Gent/BELGIUM in "Electromechanical Engineering" (1976-1981). After a one-year study of "Computer Science" in 1981, he enrolled at the University of Texas in Austin/USA to pursue a Ph. D. in computational mechanics under the supervision of J. T. Oden (1982-1987).
Prof. Devloos main research interests are the application of object-oriented technology in scientific computing, finite element technology and continuum mechanics. Last year, he successfully applied for a scholarship funded by the German Academic Exchange Service within the programme "Research Stays for University Academics and Scientists". During his three-month research stay, he and apl. Prof. Bernd Flemisch will investigate the numerical approximation of fluid flows through fractured porous media. A central tool of the planned collaboration will be the open-source simulator DuMux.
LH² warmly welcomea Philippe Devloo and looks very much forward to a successful collaboration!
N. Ahmadi
Navid Ahmadi is a postdoctoral researcher in Massimo Rolle's group at the Department of Environmental Engineering of the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby/DENMARK. He is visiting the Department of Hydromachanics and Modeling Hydrosystems from 2nd May to 15th May 2022 and he will work intensively with Katharina Heck.
Navid Ahmadi and members of LH2 can look back on a long lasting collaboration. The more LH² is pleased to welcome him to the department.
Navid received his Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering and his Master degree in Environmental Engineering from Tehran University, Tehran/IR IRAN, where he wrote his Master's thesis on the application of moving bed biofilm reactors for biodegradation of organic micropollutants under the supervision of Ali Torabian and Mark van Loosdrecht (TU Delft/NETHERLANDS). In 2018, he started his Ph. D. under the supervision of Massimo Rolle at the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in the field of Hydrogeology and Hydrogeochemistry. During his Ph. D., he focused on the mechanistic and fundamental understanding of processes in coupled environmental systems using experimental and numerical approaches. The main focus was on the exchange of mass, momentum, and energy at the surface-atmosphere interface, and on characterizing the importance of external dynamical factors (e.g., wind flow and temperature gradients) and internal factors (e.g., grain size of the porous medium) for the dynamics of gas component transport and biogeochemical reactions in single- and two-phase porous media.
