Jonas Schaper

Jonas Schaper is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Tübingen's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of Geosciences, within the Environmental Systems Analysis Group. His work focuses on pollution dynamics in rivers and alluvial aquifers, reactive transport modeling, and sustainable water management.

Education:

• April 2015: Master of Science in Geoecology, University of Bayreuth, Germany (Thesis: "Uranium(VI) binding to dissolved organic matter - influence of water chemistry and organic matter properties")
• PhD thesis: "Removal of trace organic compounds in hyporheic reactors of urban freshwater systems"

Research Experience:

• Since June 2020: Postdoc at Environmental Systems Analysis Group, University of Tübingen, Germany
• July 2019: Postdoc at Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), Berlin, Germany (Focus: Fate of trace organic compounds during river bank filtration)
• Research stays: University of Western Australia (Perth, June 2015) and Flinders University (Adelaide, Research stay)

Research Focus: Schaper specializes in the intersection of hydrology, geochemistry, and environmental engineering. His work includes numerical transport modeling in the hyporheic zone and analysis of contaminant removal mechanisms in urban freshwater systems.
