Switzerland
I am an experienced professional in water resources management with a track record of working in both local and international settings. I have contributed to projects across various industries and in numerous countries. I have had the opportunity to lead different business areas within advisory companies, including business strategy development, management of multidisciplinary teams, and the implementation of innovative water management solutions. My technical expertise lies in surface water hydraulics and hydrology, with a focus on applying numerical models and real-time systems to support water planning and operational forecasting. I have extensive experience in flood risk management, environmental water management, hydrogeology, and integrated water modeling. My goal is always to help clients and partners make informed, data-driven decisions.
Numerical modelling and customised solutions in the field of hydrogeology and hydraulics.
Responsible for INTERA's European Water Services with focus on managing and protecting our precious groundwater and surface water resources. Supporting our technical teams to develop and apply state-of-the-art data acquisition and modelling technology.
Head of the Water Authorities Department for the Germany/Austria/Switzerland Region (D-A-CH) with focus on delivering specific solutions to DHI's local and global Water Authorities customer segment. Management of a regional team of hydrologists, engineers and water management specialists.
Responsible for the implementation of tailored software solutions across DHI's different water management domains in the D-A-CH area. Leading technical teams to set up, upgrade and maintain operational real-time and forecasting systems. Provision of hydrodynamic modelling training using DHI's surface water software to different clients.
Senior Advisor and Project Manager, focusing on 1D and 2D hydraulic and hydrological modelling, implementing operational forecast solutions, and collaborating with experts globally to provide holistic modelling system solutions to customers. Certified DHI Project Management Trainer, training colleagues in Europe, US and Asia-Pacific.
Responsible for the modelling of rainfall-runoff processes, natural and constructed drainage systems, mine water balances, sediment transport, and groundwater flow & seepage (saturated/unsaturated conditions). Involved in a wide range of hydrological analyses, including the estimation of catchment runoff and peak discharges. Responsible for water resources management, planning and design, such as flood management planning, erosion and sedimentation control planning, surface water drainage infrastructure design, and groundwater well design. Further involvement in on-site water sampling and recording as well as pumping and observation well installation.
Working as a researcher/water scientist during an internship at the Water Corporation of Western Australia, involved in two main projects: 'Groundwater Replenishment Feasibility Study' and 'Nitrification Inhibition and Drinking Water Quality Assessment', which was a collaborative project between the Water Corporation and the Curtin Water Quality Research Centre. Further involvement in field work including recording and on-site sampling and assisting in project and programme management.
