Prof. Volker Birke is a Full Professor of Chemistry/Technical Chemistry at the Wismar University of Applied Sciences, Germany, since 2016. He has over 30 years of experience in environmental chemistry and remediation technologies, with a focus on groundwater and soil contamination. He teaches courses in general, physical, technical, and environmental chemistry for process and environmental engineers. Professor, Wismar University of Applied Sciences (2016–present) Extraordinary Professor, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences (2009–2016) Research Interests: Specializing in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for groundwater pollution, mechanochemical dehalogenation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and emerging contaminants like PFAS and pharmaceuticals. His work spans ex situ and in situ remediation technologies for chlorinated ethenes, PCBs, and chromite ore processing residues. International Collaborations: Long-term research partnerships with University of Newcastle and CRC CARE Institute in Australia (since 2004), including student exchanges and joint FuE projects. Also collaborates with Indian Institute of Technology Delhi on groundwater remediation projects. Grants & Projects: Coordinated Germany's large-scale R&D cluster RUBIN for PRB technologies (2006–2012). Currently supervises a DAAD-funded internship in Australia (2024) and a BMWi-funded FuE project (2023–2025) with German companies on wastewater treatment. Labs & Teams: Leads the Chemistry and Environmental Analytics Laboratory in Malchow, Germany, focusing on innovative remediation methods. Has managed over 50 national and international remediation projects in USA, India, and Australia.

Dr. Karlis Kukemilks is a researcher in the Geology Division of Department VI - Spatial and Environmental Sciences at the University of Trier, Germany. He leads a major DBU-funded project developing sustainable cement alternatives through alkali-activated geopolymers, positioning him at the forefront of low-carbon construction materials research. His research spans four interconnected domains: Geomechanics : Advanced slope stability modeling and excavation shoring techniques Sustainable Materials : Transforming industrial waste (clay sludge, silicate dusts) into eco-cements Hydrogeology : Dewatering systems and groundwater flow modeling for construction Geophysics : Resistivity tomography and self-potential methods for subsurface characterization Current work focuses on the DBU project (2024-2026) creating geopolymers that eliminate conventional cement's high-temperature processes. These materials demonstrate exceptional acid/heat resistance and aesthetic versatility while utilizing 100% regional industrial byproducts. The project actively collaborates with SMEs to implement findings in real-world construction applications. Dr. Kukemilks directs a well-equipped research unit utilizing: GIS : ArcMap, QGIS for spatial analysis Geomechanics : GeoStudio, Rocscience, Plaxis for stability modeling Hydrogeology : HydroGeoSphere, MODFLOW, PEST for flow simulation His methodology integrates field investigations with advanced numerical modeling to solve practical engineering challenges while reducing environmental impact.

Faten Jarraya Horriche is a researcher at the Centre for Water Research and Technologies (CERTE) in Tunisia and president of the Tunisian National Chapter of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH). With over three decades of experience, she specializes in groundwater resource management and hydrogeological modeling in Tunisia's complex aquifer systems. Her educational foundation includes: Senior engineering project on Sebkhat El Melah salt reserves at the National School for Engineers of Tunis (ENIT) in 1987 Diploma of Deep Studies in applied mechanics of fluids and thermal transfers from the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis (FST) in 1995 Ph.D. from ENIT in 2004 analyzing national groundwater level networks Dr. Horriche's research integrates computational modeling with field studies to address critical challenges including multi-layered aquifer systems, seawater intrusion, and sustainable groundwater management in arid regions. Her work bridges scientific analysis with national water policy development through extensive collaboration with Tunisia's General Direction of Water Resources (DGRE). As co-chair of the 2019 AGIC2019 international congress, she demonstrated leadership in advancing hydrogeological science across 15 countries. Her technical approach relies on MODFLOW for groundwater simulation alongside GIS tools for spatial analysis of aquifer dynamics. Dr. Horriche actively mentors students through CERTE's Georesources Research Laboratory (LGR) while advocating for international collaboration to address Tunisia's groundwater challenges. Her vision includes establishing a pilot laboratory for experimental groundwater processes to support next-generation water management solutions.
