Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Hinkelmann
Chair of Water Resources Management and Modeling of Hydrosystems,
Institute of Civil Engineering, Faculty VI - Planning Building Environment,
Technische Universität Berlin, Germany

Prof. Hinkelmann obtained a Diploma in Civil Engineering in 1991 and doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) in shallow water flow modeling and high performance computing in 1997, both from University of Hanover, Germany. After that he became Senior Enigineer at the Institute of Computer Applications in Civil Engineering, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany from 1997 until 2000 and at the Department of Hydromechanics and Modeling of Hydrosystems, University of Stuttgart, Germany from 2000 until 2004. At the latter institution he obtained a Habilitation with a Venia Legendi in Hydromechanics and Hydroinformatics in 2003. Since 2004 he is heading the Chair Water Resources Management and Modeling of Hydrosystems, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. The number of doctoral students and postdocs at the chair (funded by the university, external funds and scholarships) has been around 10 in the last years, the number of total staff including research students, secretary and system administrator varies between 15 and 20. In education lectures are given in fluid mechanics, hydraulic engineering, engineering hydrology, water resources management and modeling of hydro- and environmental systems. The courses are offered in the bachelor and master programmes in Civil Engineering, Civil Systems Engineering and Environmental Technologies and as well as in the doctoral programme of the Research Training Group “Urban Water Interfaces“ (RTG UWI) funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Research foci of the chair are (i) modelling of flow and transport processes in surface waters, (ii) modelling of flow and transport processes in subsurface systems and (iii) model development and hydroinformatics. Prof. Hinkelmann is currently Speaker of the Research Training Group “Urban Water Interfaces“ (13 doctoral students, 12 applicants; 2015 - 2024) located at TU Berlin and the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin. In recent years, the chair had emphasis on flash floods, shallow water flows, robust numerical methods, artificial neural networks, high-resolution two- and three-dimensional hydraulic and environmental flows applied to urban waters, sewer systems, hyporheic zone, water quality and river restoration.

Invited Speaker

Prof Reza Ghazavi
University of Kashan,Iran

Prof. Reza Ghazavi is currently a full professor at the University of Kashan in Iran, in the field of water resources management. He a highly experienced and qualified academic, with a PhD in watershed management-soil and water conservation from INRA, University of Rennes France. He has taught at both the undergraduate and graduate level for more than 25 years, and have a strong record of research and publication. His academic training and about 25 years of experience working prepare me to be an effective researcher and instructor in the field of water resources management. During his graduate training, he was also fortunate enough to have served as a teaching professor for differences level course on reinforced concrete design.
