Biography

Klaus Mosthaf is an Associate Professor focused on developing novel digital tools and numerical models to improve the understanding of contaminant fate and transport in porous environments. His primary research aims to contribute to the assessment and protection of groundwater resources from contamination, while exploring sustainable technologies for monitoring and remediating groundwater contamination. He specializes in model development for coupled processes, such as soil-atmosphere interactions and enhanced reductive dechlorination, along with aquifer thermal energy storage. Klaus has extensive experience in the properties and fate of contaminants such as chlorinated solvents, PFAS, and pesticides, as well as solute transport and heat in complex geological formations. His work effectively ties laboratory experiments to field data to boost predictability in mass transfer processes between soil and groundwater. Additionally, Klaus has significant teaching experience, having overseen over 25 theses at various academic levels and served as a course coordinator for multiple environmental modeling modules. He is a board member of the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences regarding soil and groundwater and actively reviews for multiple academic journals.
