Since 2012, Philip Brunner is a Professor for Hydrogeology at the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland. He obtained his PhD from ETH  in Zurich. During his PhD he was developing strategies for sustainable management of salt and water in an Agriculturally used basin in Western China. After his PhD he spent three years in Australia for Post-doctoral studies where he developed new approaches to simulating the interactions between rivers and their underlying aquifers.  His key areas of research include surface water groundwater interactions, numerical modeling and remote sensing. In his research he closely collaborates with mathematicians, biologists and physics. 

Philip Brunner est professeur en hydrogéologie à l’Université de Neuchâtel depuis 2012. Il a obtenu son doctorat à l’Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Zurich. Lors de sa thèse, il a développé des stratégies sur la gestion durable du sel et de l’eau dans un bassin agricole de la Chine de l’ouest. Après son doctorat, il a entrepris des études post doctorales en Australie. Ses principaux thèmes de recherches incluent les interactions entre l’eau de surface et eaux souterraines, la modélisation numérique et télédétection. Ses recherches l’amènent à collaborer étroitement avec des mathématiciens, biologistes et physiciens.

The overall aim of Philip’s research is to develop quantitative tools for the sustainable management of surface and subsurface water resources. His research is highly interdisciplinary, and his group develops and applies methods from a wide range of research fields, including physically based numerical modelling, remote sensing, scientific computing and isotopic chemistry. His work has applications in fields outside classical hydrogeology, such as agriculture, ecohydrology, engineering or sustainable use of water and soil resources.

I teach a wide range of courses on the master and bachelor level, including Introduction to Hydrological and hydrogeological processes (master), numerical modelling (master), remote sensing (master), Introduction to soil physics (bachelor, in french) as well as introduction to hydrology (bachelor, in french)
