Who we are

Jannes Kordilla

Dr. Jannes Kordilla

Group leader

jkordil@gwdg.de

Jannes is a lecturer and researcher at the University of Goettingen (Faculty of Geoscience and Geography, Dept. Applied Geology). His research focus is on laboratory and catchment-scale unsaturated flow dynamics in porous fractured media. He is involved in the development of high-performance smoothed particle hydrodynamics codes and large-scale modeling approaches.

Elena Shigorina

Dr. rer. nat. Elena Shigorina

Postdoc

+49 (551) 39-7913

eshigor@gwdg.de

Elena joined in 2015 as a Ph.D. student and focusses on the development of SPH codes to gain a deeper understanding of fracture-scale infiltration dynamics in fractured-porous media. She is currently enhancing a multiscale SPH model (former DFG project) as part of her Dorothea-Schlözer scholarship  to allow efficient adaptive resolution simulations of flows in fractured-porous systems.

Lysander Bresinsky

M.Sc. Lysander Bresinsky

Ph.D. student

lbresin@gwdg.de

Lysander started his Ph.D. in late 2017 as part of the BMBF funded project MedWater within the GRoW initiative. He develops a high-performance double-continuum groundwater model of the mediterranean Western Aquifer Basin, with focus on the erratic infiltration dynamics in (semi-)arid regions.

Torsten Noffz

M.Sc. Torsten Noffz

Ph.D. student

+49 (551) 39-7913

tnoffz@gwdg.de

Torsten joined in 2018 to pursue his Ph.D. as part of the DFG project „iKarst“. He focusses on the surface-subsurface coupling, recharge dynamics and development of catchment-scale distributive modeling applications for fractured karst systems.

florianrued@gmail.com

Florian joined the group in the beginning of 2019. As part of a DFG project on preferential flow dynamics in porous-fractured media he is investigating the relationship between fracture network topology and preferential flow path formation via experimental work on laboratory and field scales and analytical modeling.

Temke Hector

B.Sc. Judith Carstens

M.Sc. student

+49 (551) 39-7913

judith.carstens@stud.uni-goettingen.de

Judith is investigating infiltration dynamics in karst systems as part of our DFG project with partners from TU Dresden. Her focus is on the measurement and interpretation of groundwater recharge in complex fractured-porous systems via water table fluctuation methods and adapted dual-domain recharge models.

B.Sc. Benedikt Spanier

B.Sc. student

+49 (551) 39-7913

b.spanier@stud.uni-goettingen.de

Benedikt studies the fractured aquifer system in the vicinity of Goettingen with respect to their hydrochemical signatures. His prospective studies help to better understand the groundwater recharge within the formations and can assist in the delineation of aquifer boundaries
