About the authors
Dr.-Ing. Norihiro Watanabe is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. He studied civil engineering and environmental science at Okayama University in Japan for his Bachelor and Master degrees, and received his doctoral degree in engineering from Dresden University of Technology in Germany. His research interest is in developing numerical models for coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical processes in fractured rocks for various geotechnical applications such as deep geothermal systems and underground waste disposals.
Dr. Uwe-Jens Görke is currently working as a senior scientist at the Department of Environmental Informatics of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. He studied Theoretical Mechanics and Applied Mathematics at the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Kharkov, Ukraine, and received his doctoral degree in Solid Mechanics from the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau, Germany. From 1996-2008 he worked at Chemnitz University of Technology. His research interests are related to numerical methods and constitutive modelling with applications in geotechnologies, particularly focused on energy-related topics, like geothermal energy, energy storage and carbon dioxide storage. Dr. Görke coordinates work packages of different national research projects and is involved in managing projects during all project stages -- from the application for funds to final reporting.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Olaf Kolditz is the head of the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research - UFZ. He holds a Chair in Applied Environmental System Analysis at the Technische Universität in Dresden. His research interests are related to environmental fluid mechanics, numerical methods and software engineering with applications in geotechnics, hydrology and energy storage. Olaf Kolditz is the PI of the OpenGeoSys project (www.opengeosys.org), an open-source scientific software platform for the numerical simulation of thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes in porous media, in use worldwide. He studied theoretical mechanics and applied mathematics at the University of Kharkov (Ukraine) and earned his PhD in 1990 in natural sciences from the Academy of Science of the GDR in geohydrodynamics. Olaf Kolditz is Editor-in-Chief of two international journals: Geothermal Energy (open access) and Environmental Earth Sciences (ISI).
