Head of the near surface geothermal drilling department bei Daldrup & Söhne AG

About

I am a highly motivated, young geoscientist working at Daldrup & Söhne AG, since June 2020 as head of the near surface geothermal drilling department. Within the last years I had the pleasure to organize various drilling projects, comprising salt production wells, groundwater monitoring wells, the backfilling of a methane gas production well and several geothermal projects. Before, I studied Applied Geosciences at RWTH Aachen University and finished with a Master's degree. Curiosity, an open mind, perseverance, a communicative character and analytical strength are the keywords I would use to describe myself. During my Master's studies I focused on "Energy & Mineral Resources", which brought me deep knowledge in all aspects related to exploration. For my Master's thesis I organized and conducted a sampling expedition in the Italian Alps, followed by laboratory analysis and modeling. Thanks to a Bachelor's degree in "Georesources Management" I have a broad knowledge in other subjects as well, comprising engineering geology, hydrogeology, environmental management, fundamentals of law, business administration and more. Between my studies and starting to work I went to southern France and Spain, where I took part in the WOOF program, which was a great experience.
