Biography

Jan-Olof Selroos is an adjunct professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in Water Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on sustainable infrastructure related to groundwater flow and solute transport. Previously, he coordinated research at the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Company (SKB), where he identified research needs for safety assessment modeling of nuclear waste repositories. His work involves applying developed methods within infrastructure projects, including supervision of PhD projects that explore the coupled hydromechanical and hydrochemical processes in fractured rock to better understand groundwater flow and transport characteristics. He is also involved in projects addressing grout degradation in hydropower dams, with emphasis on hydrochemical processes, and modeling tailing dams in the mining industry in collaboration with organizations like LKAB and DHI. Selroos’s academic role is supported by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research and SKB.
