معرفی
Claus Haslauer serves as Scientific Director at the Institute for Modelling Water and Environmental Systems and the Groundwater and Contaminated Site Remediation Test Facility (VEGAS) at the University of Stuttgart. He holds the academic rank of Professor within the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, specifically in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management. Haslauer has been affiliated with the institute since January 2019 and maintains an active research and teaching profile.
His research interests focus on groundwater modeling, contaminant transport processes, environmental remediation technologies, hydrogeology, and soil engineering. Haslauer's work particularly emphasizes PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) research, investigating immobilization techniques, leaching behavior, and remediation strategies for these persistent contaminants. His methodological approaches include experimental testing at various scales (batch, column, lysimeter), numerical modeling, and field applications of remediation technologies.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend toward addressing complex environmental contamination challenges, particularly PFAS contamination in soil and groundwater systems. His research employs multi-scale experimental approaches combined with advanced modeling techniques to understand contaminant behavior and develop effective remediation strategies. The work spans fundamental hydrogeological processes to practical field applications, with significant emphasis on translating laboratory findings to real-world remediation scenarios.
Haslauer teaches courses including Soil Engineering, Soil Experiments, Environmental Analytical Techniques, Statistics for Engineers, Environmental Measuring and Monitoring Technologies, Groundwater and Soil Remediation, and Hydrogeology Field Practice. His teaching integrates theoretical concepts with practical laboratory and field experiences, reflecting his research focus on experimental approaches to understanding subsurface processes.
