Background

About Francesca Lotti

In over 20 years of intense work, I gained experience in hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical investigations and modelling of fractured volcanic aquifers, thermal systems, contaminated sites, coastal aquifers (MODFLOW and FEFLOW,"alleviated" by PEST - John Doherty. Thank-you!). I'm very interested in the fascinating combination of field investigations, data mining, geostatistics, modelling and decision-support. In 2021 I founded SYMPLE, a School of Hydrogeological Modelling which is growing year after year. My current activities include- Teaching and Tutoring @SYMPLE - Modelling of flow and transport in contaminated sites- Modelling for groundwater resources management in islands- Model calibration and uncertainty analysis- Groundwater modelling Decision Support- Heat transport modelling for geothermal systems- Open pits and mines dewatering modelling- Sustainable yield definition (under uncertainty constraints)-(Meaningful) Pumping test execution and analysis- Field Hydrogeology- Data mining and advanced data processing- Coming up with creative approaches and solutions. and many other amazing topics! My Consultancy Concept. I firmly believe in knowledge sharing, through whatever mean: lessons, webinars, tutoring, conferences and. consultancy as well! Being both a teacher and a consultant, I tend to apply always the same approach, trying to "reveal" as much as I can. Solutions can only arise from the continuous exchange of ideas and, in my experience, this is the most attractive way I've found to train myself!
