Summary
👤
SeniorDmitrii Kulik is a retired senior scientist and long-time leader of the GEMS project, with decades focused on geochemical modelling by Gibbs energy minimization and on improving numerical algorithms and software for robust, fast thermodynamic simulations. Based in Villigen, Switzerland, he spent 2000–2024 at the Paul Scherrer Institut advancing theory and practical tools for adsorption, ion exchange, mineral surface reactivity, kinetics and reactive transport. He combines deep theoretical expertise in solid-solution thermodynamics with hands-on software development and project stewardship, delivering user-friendly modelling tools used by the geochemistry community. Since 2015 he has also shaped the field as an associate editor of Applied Geochemistry. Even in retirement he remains tied to the GEMS codebase and to advancing more precise and efficient GEM methods for challenging reactive-transport problems.
