Summary

Simon Mathias is Professor of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Engineering at Durham University and Vice Dean of the Wuhan University Durham University Joint Institute. He previously served as Lecturer in Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London and later as Professor of Computational Geoscience in Durham University's Department of Earth Sciences. He has also worked as a Civil Engineer in the Maritime Business Unit of Royal HaskoningDHV.

Simon is a Chartered Civil Engineer and holds an MEng in Civil Engineering from University College London, an MSc in Water Resources, Technology and Management from the University of Birmingham, and a PhD in Civil Engineering from Imperial College London. He has more than 20 years of experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students in hydraulics, hydrology, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, environmental management, mathematics, and computational methods.

He has authored over 76 peer-reviewed journal articles and has served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Hydrology, Transport in Porous Media, Hydrogeology Journal, and the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology. His research focuses on developing mathematical models of fluid and contaminant movement in porous media, with applications including groundwater recharge, carbon capture and storage, contaminant transport, and rainfall-runoff modelling.
