Professor Klaus Regenauer-Lieb

Emeritus Professor Klaus Regenauer-Lieb is a highly distinguished Geophysicist and Applied Mathematician with 30+ years of experience in Geothermal Energy and Reservoir Engineering, currently positioned at Curtin University (Emeritus Professor) and the University of New South Wales (Adjunct). He is the Co-Lead for Program 2: Carbon Catalysts for Renewable Energy with Zero Emissions at COE-CSI. Prof Regenauer-Lieb is internationally recognised for pioneering multi-scale, multiphysics modelling of porous media based on fundamental physics, notably integrating Earth’s heat, chemistry, and mechanical behaviour. This expertise provides the essential numerical framework for understanding reactive transport and optimising the use of carbon materials in the Centre’s quest for carbon-neutral energy solutions. His extensive academic career includes professor positions in Australia and Germany (UWA, UNSW, Curtin, Mainz) and postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota, ETH Zurich, and CSIRO.
