Malte Ziebarth

Malte Ziebarth is a researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) within the Assistant Professorship of Geothermal Technologies, contributing to geothermal energy research and development under Prof. Michael Drews' leadership. His work integrates geophysics with practical geothermal applications.

Education:

• PhD in Seismology, University of Potsdam (2020-2022)
• M.Sc. in Physics, Humboldt University of Berlin (2014-2017)
• B.Sc. in Physics with minor in Mathematics, Humboldt University of Berlin (2011-2015)

His research focuses on seismicity modeling in energy space, pore pressure data interpolation (via the EFECT project), and stochastic heat flow analysis. He develops specialized software for geothermal data dissemination, supporting projects like the Bavarian Pressure Map and Geothermal-Alliance Bavaria. His methodology emphasizes energy conservation principles applied to geophysical systems.

His publication record demonstrates interdisciplinary work connecting strain rate analysis with earthquake frequency estimation, reflecting his quantitative approach to geothermal reservoir characterization and seismic hazard assessment.

Scientific awards: None documented in available sources.

Malte actively collaborates within TUM's Geothermal Technologies team on multi-institutional projects including GoEffective and PHYSALIS, though no student supervision or specific grant details are publicly listed. His current work centers on improving geothermal exploration techniques through advanced data modeling.
