Research interests

Trigger mechanisms and kinematics as submarine landslides
Slope stability analysis with focus on key role of sediment texture and interplay between micro-structure and pore pressure transients
Interplay between volcanic activities and subsequent surface material transport processes
Deformation behaviour and sediment-physical characterization of marine sediments
Sediment bed stability and initiation of motion - investigation of sediment transport processes at the water-sediment-interface
Studies on current induced sediment transport in the vicinity of corals and mangrove roots
Combination of various numerical simulation techniques including granular (Discrete Element Method) and continuums (Finite Element, Finite Difference Method) modelling techniques
Application and development of academic as well as commercial simulation techniques (e.g., PFC2D/3D, FLAC 2D/3D, OpenFOAM, ANSYS, ComsolMultiphysics)
Combination of geophysical data and sediment core analyses (e.g. MSCL, CT, micro-CT)
