Today, hydraulic engineering and water management have interdisciplinary requirements. Therefore, it is more important than ever to understand hydraulic processes. This is the focus of my teaching. The basics of hydromechanics take place at the bachelor studies of civil engineering, water management, and recycling- and waste management. My objective is, to create a solid foundation of theoretical principles and engineering expertise. Based on this, I want to mediate methods and solution strategies. Thus, students can cope with the future interdisciplinary tasks of water management.
 For a sustainable education I try to combine state of the art with the state of science. Lectures, exercises, seminars, and tutorials are offered to the students. To deepen the content, there are also laboratory internships in our very well-equipped teaching laboratory and regular excursions. You will find some interesting videos about Hydromechanics in our YouTube-channel.

Flood protection and flood risk management are one of the most important social tasks of water management. A special challenge for me is the development of software that combines interdisciplinary approaches with classic approaches of water management. Therefore, the primary goal of my research is the development of methods and tools for flood protection and adaptive and sustainable flood risk management.
