David R. Rieder

David R. Rieder is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the 'Multiscale Operations in Porous Systems' (MOPS) research group. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from TU/e (2024) and a Master’s in Chemical Technology from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (2017). His research focuses on multiscale modeling of multiphase flows in porous media, particularly in energy and catalysis applications. He contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, addressing renewable energy transitions and climate change mitigation.

• Academic Background: PhD (2024, TU/e), Master’s (2017, Karlsruhe), Researcher (2017–2019, Boreskov Institute of Catalysis).
• Current Role: Postdoc in Mechanical Engineering, working on digital porous media twins and high-fidelity models.

Research Interests: Reactive multiphase flows in chemical reactors, heat storage, subsurface reservoirs, and multiscale drying processes. His work emphasizes balancing model complexity and reliability.

Key Projects: Participates in the H2DeepNL project (2021–2026), focusing on digital rock modeling for energy storage in subsurface reservoirs.

Publications: Over 12 peer-reviewed articles from 2020–2025, covering topics like trickle bed reactors, pore network modeling, and fluid interface dynamics. Recent work highlights innovative numerical methods and empirical analyses in porous media.

Labs/Teams: Active in the MOPS group and collaborates internationally on porous media research. Engages in conferences and workshops, presenting findings on drying processes and multiphase flow dynamics.
