Frank Schneider

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Schneider is a Professor of Urban Water Management & Civil Engineering at Berlin University of Technology, Department III. He holds roles such as Chairman of Examination Committees B-UB and M-UI, and Member of the Department Council and Women's Advancement Commission. His work focuses on integrated urban drainage, water-sensitive urban design (Sponge City concepts), natural rainwater management, and flood protection. He contributes to projects like infiltration systems, hydrodynamic modeling of sewer networks, and pollution load calculations.

Research interests include sustainable infrastructure, hydrological simulations (e.g., NASIM), and international comparisons of design approaches for water systems. He actively participates in professional associations like the DWA (Deutscher Wasserstoff), serving as deputy spokesperson for the ES-3.1 working group on rainwater infiltration. His teaching covers urban water management, GIS applications, and environmental engineering courses with evolving thematic focuses like climate resilience and international cooperation.

Publications span technical guidelines (e.g., DWA-A 138), hydraulic performance studies, and comparative analyses of international water management practices. He supervises student theses on topics like sponge city principles, rainwater storage systems, and drainage planning for urban developments. Excursions organized emphasize practical exposure to water infrastructure in Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond.
