About us

VFG-Lab GmbH is a spin-off of the German Research Centre for Geosciences and the University of Potsdam. It offers services in the fields of geological modeling, hydrogeological assessments and consulting, as well as site-specific studies on the use of geothermal energy. In the area of ​​hydrogeological consulting, we also offer expert support in permit and court proceedings for projects in the field of environmental and nature conservation.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Applied Geology from the University of Leoben, Austria, with a focus on hydro- and environmental geology. Graduated with distinction from the University of Leoben, Austria, with a focus on reservoir and petroleum geology. From 2009 to 2010, he was a visiting scientist at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA, working on a project characterizing petroleum migration in Jurassic sandstones. From 2010 to 2014, he earned a PhD in Petroleum Geology from the Royal Holloway University of London, Department of Earth Sciences, with a focus on reservoir characterization and dynamic reservoir simulation.
