Summary
Emanuel Huber is head of Hydrogeology and Geothermics at GEOTEST AG with 11 years of experience applying Bayesian uncertainty quantification, machine learning and numerical modelling to hydrogeology, geophysics and water-supply challenges. He combines academic rigor—PhD summa cum laude and postdoctoral work at Stanford on uncertainty in groundwater forecasts—with practical leadership in groundwater protection, water-supply planning and consulting. Technically fluent in R, OpenFOAM, MODFLOW/MT3DMS, C++ and GIS, he builds reproducible data workflows, automated analyses and open-source tools such as the RGPR GPR-processing package. His work bridges sedimentology and stochastic modelling to produce geological heterogeneity models that better reflect field observations rather than standard multi-Gaussian assumptions. Known for translating complex uncertainty analyses into actionable decisions for regulators and utilities, he blends deep statistical methods (MCMC, Gaussian processes) with hands-on field geophysics. Based in the Greater Bern Area, he’s equally comfortable leading teams, shipping open-source software and advising on strategic water-resource projects.
