Diederik Jacques obtained the degree of Bio-engineer in the Land and Forest Management, a Master of Statistics and a PhD in Agricultural and Applied Biological Sciences at the Catholique University of Leuven (Belgium). He worked as a post-doctoral researcher at SCK•CEN in 2002, a scientific collaborator between 2002 and 2011, and became group leader in 2011. His research interests include flow and transport phenomena in porous media, coupled reactive transport modelling, parameter estimation, geostatistical characterization and pore-scale/continuum-scale model development. Current applications are in the field of soil-aquifer interaction, long-term evolution of cement-based materials, contaminant and colloid transport in porous media, and performance assessments of surface and deep radioactive waste disposal systems or NORM sites. A major achievement is the development of the coupled reactive transport code HPx for variable saturated porous media
