Netherlands: TU Delft Announces New Assistant Professor of Geothermal Energy

Maren Brehme new assistant professor of geothermal energy at TU Delft (SPG, Platform Geothermie)

Mrs Maren Brehme has started as a new assistant professor of Geothermal Engineering at TU Delft.

She collaborates with Phil Vardon and professor David Bruhn, among others. Maren is a hydrogeologist aiming to understand subsurface fluid flow using multidisciplinary approaches for sustainable geothermal energy use.

She has 10 years experience in geothermal research. During her PhD she studied the role of faults and fractures in geothermal reservoirs, while in her PostDoc she studied the operation of geothermal systems.

The future work will cover two main aspects: Where to drill the next well? and How to run a geothermal system sustainably? She combines approaches from hydrogeology, structural geology and geochemistry to find answers to this questions. One of the main projects she will be involved in is the DAP geothermal doublet on the TU Delft Campus.
