GEoREST - Linus Walter

 

Biography

I obtained my diploma in engineering (equivalent to M.Sc.) in the study programe ‘Geotechnical Engineering and Mining’ from TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. Consequently, my main background is in applied rock mechanics and soil mechanics with a focus on the mitigation of geohazards.
In addition, I wrote my diploma thesis in the field of reservoir engineering. Its principal subject related to the numerical modelling of hydromechanically coupled processes in a fractured reservoir at the Geretsried Deep Geothermal Project in Germany.
Since July 2021, I have been working as a PhD student in the GeoREST research project at IDAEA-CSIC. My main field of investigation is the ‘Prediction of Induced Seismicity by the Application of Machine Learning’.
