Bernd Flemisch

Bernd Flemisch is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Stuttgart, affiliated with the Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems within the Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems. He holds a Dr. rer. nat. habil. (2013) and has been active in academic research since 2001.

Education:

• 2001: M.Sc. in Mathematics, Iowa State University
• 2006: Doctoral Degree (Dr. rer. nat.), University of Stuttgart
• 2013: Habilitation (Dr. rer. nat. habil.), University of Stuttgart

Research Interests: Flemisch specializes in discretization methods, solvers, and research software development for porous media flow. His work focuses on numerical simulation of multiphase systems, coupled flow processes, and adaptive multi-scale modeling. Key areas include computational geosciences, fluid mechanics, and energy storage solutions such as hydrogen and CO₂ sequestration.

Professional Activities:

• Since 2024: Project leader in CRC 1667 and Base4NFDI/Jupyter4NFDI
• Since 2023: Dean of Studies for Civil Engineering at University of Stuttgart
• Leadership roles in NFDI4Ing (National Research Data Infrastructure for Engineering)
• Co-developer of open-source simulators like DuMuX and Frackit

Lab & Teams: Engages in collaborative projects such as the FluidFlower CO₂ storage experiment and the Stuttgart Center for Simulation Science (SC SimTech). His work emphasizes reproducible research and sustainable software practices.
