Senior Researcher at University of Erlangen (department of Shallow Geothermal Energy)
Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Von Deimling is a senior researcher specializing in shallow geothermal energy and subsurface heat transfer, with over 15 years of research experience across Alfred Wegener Institute, PIK, and the Max Planck Institute. He combines climate modeling and numerical simulation expertise to assess geothermal potential under dynamic surface-climate boundary conditions and to optimize horizontal ground heat collector configurations with thermal storage systems. His work bridges fundamental permafrost and climate-impact research with practical energy solutions aimed at reducing installation costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Now based in Berlin at the University of Erlangen’s shallow geothermal department, he leads development of a novel horizontal collector prototype that targets higher efficiency and lower capital expenditure. Notably, his background in permafrost vulnerability gives him a unique systems-level perspective on how climatic change interacts with ground-source technologies.
