Team

Interdisciplinary expertise

We are a team of experts in geotechnology with specializations in hydrogeology, data modelling, software development and geophysics.

Alexander Strom is a hydrogeologist and has been working full-time in science and practice since 2016. Topics that are close to his heart and are currently the focus of his projects are near-natural water retention and the development of digital tools in hydrogeology. In recent years, he has completed projects for the Federal Environment Agency and the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, among others. He has contributed to important content in the BMUV's National Water Strategy with specialist articles on near-natural landscape water management.

Dr. Paul Knöll is a hydrogeologist and specializes in the development of hydrological monitoring networks and water balance modelling. He has developed and set up a measurement system for operational flood forecasting in a karst area in southwest Germany. He was also responsible for several years as project manager for the monitoring and maintenance of the hydrogeological monitoring network at a major construction site on the Kiel Canal (NOK).

Dr. Judith Confal is a geophysicist with a specialization in seismology & modelling. In recent years, she has been intensively involved in the development and operation of seismological measurement networks as well as corresponding data formats and database structures in the context of international research projects. She contributes this valuable experience to the development of ENOLA. Another focus of her work is the acquisition of funding and R&D projects.

Lucas Pagès is a software developer (full-stack development). He studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence in Marseille and Montréal. He uses Django and React in particular to develop web APIs and applications with UX design in mind. He also develops and optimizes the software and data structure of ENOLA.
