Aymen Taoutaou
Bio
Aymen is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Researcher at the University of Derby, researching the use of geothermal energy from flooded mine shafts for heating and cooling applications. His research combines hydrogeological modelling, geospatial analysis, data science and artificial intelligence to investigate the potential of abandoned mine-water systems as low-carbon energy resources.
Aymen holds a Master’s degree in Hydroresources and Environmental Quality from Université Grenoble Alpes, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Geology from Université de Constantine 1. Previous experience includes hydrological modelling at CEREMA and geodata science at Arethuse Geology, where he worked with Python, GIS, machine learning and deep learning for environmental and geological applications.
Alongside academic and professional experience, Aymen developed Geoquintus, an independent project focused on geospatial analysis, cartography and modelling. He has also presented my work at the Réunion des Sciences de la Terre (RST) conference.
In Aymen’s current research, he focuses on assessing mine water geothermal resources and developing modelling, feasibility and simulation approaches to investigate their potential for sustainable heating and cooling.
