About Me

Joaquín Jiménez-Martínez is since 2016 Research Scientist-Group Leader at Eawag (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology) and Adjunct Professor at the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on the study of transport, chemical reaction phenomena, and microbial behavior in porous and fractured media, particularly in multiphase systems. He tackles these problems mainly by experiments performed over scales ranging from micromodels to field scale, and blending them with theory and modeling. After graduating (BSc) in Geological Sciences from the University of Granada (Spain), and obtaining the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Geotechnical Engineering (MSc) at the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain) in 2007, he obtained his PhD degree in Hydrogeology at the same university in 2010. He was then Postdoctoral Fellow at the CNRS-University of Rennes 1 in France (2010-2012), and subsequently awarded as titular of the International Chair on Environment and Innovation (Foundation Rennes 1) (2012-2014). He completed his formation as Post-doc Research Associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory, US (2014-2016).
