Navid Ahmadi is our SFB 1313 guest and will stay two weeks at the Department of Hydromechanics and Modeling of Hydrosystems of the University of Stuttgart, starting May 2nd, 2022.
Navid received his Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering and his Master degree in Environmental Engineering from Tehran University, where he wrote his Master's thesis on the application of moving bed biofilm reactors for biodegradation of organic micropollutants under the supervision of Ali Torabian and Mark van Loosdrecht (TU Delft). In 2018, he started his PhD under the supervision of Massimo Rolle at the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in the field of Hydrogeology and Hydrogeochemistry. During his PhD, he focused on the mechanistic and fundamental understanding of processes in coupled environmental systems using experimental and numerical approaches. The main focus was on the exchange of mass, momentum, and energy at the surface-atmosphere interface, and on characterizing the importance of external dynamical factors (e.g., wind flow and temperature gradients) and internal factors (e.g., grain size of the porous medium) for the dynamics of gas component transport and biogeochemical reactions in single- and two-phase porous media.
Currently, Navid is a postdoctoral researcher in Massimo Rolle's group at DTU. During his stay at LH2, he will work intensively with Katharina Heck.
