David Misch, Partner Organic Petrology and SEM

David Misch obtained his PhD from Montanuniversitaet Leoben in 2016. His PhD thesis addresses "Conventional and unconventional petroleum systems in the Ukrainian Dnieper-Donets Basin." His postdoctoral research focused on the development and application of new in-situ analytical tools in shale geology, emphasizing the role of organic matter in porosity evolution during diagenesis. His further expertise includes basin analysis, organic petrography, and reservoir geology.

In 2017, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Structural Geology, Tectonics and Geomechanics (GED) at RWTH Aachen University. In 2023, he was appointed Professor of Energy Geosciences at Montanuniversitaet Leoben, focusing on low-carbon geoenergy fields including geothermal energy recovery, aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES), natural hydrogen, underground hydrogen storage (UHS), and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
