Katrin Plenkers

PhD (Dr. rer. nat), Dipl. Geophy.

CEO

Katrin obtained her PhD in Seismology from the University of Potsdam in
2011. After postdoc positions at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
and at ETH Zurich she joined GMuG in 2013 as senior scientist. From 2019
to 2021 she worked as Head of Monitoring Systems and deputy laboratory
manager in the built-up of the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for
Geosciences and Geoenergies, before she took the position as CEO at
GMuG. Her work is focused on the monitoring of underground experiments
with multi-disciplinary monitoring networks and the seismo-mechanical
analysis of micro- and picoseismicity. By sensor development she
advances monitoring strategies and technologies, pushing the limits of
what can be studied further.

Grzegorz Kwiatek

PhD., Eng., Habil.

Lead Scientist

Grzegorz obtained his PhD in Seismology from the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Science in 2007. He joined GMuG in 2024 after over 17 years of work at GFZ Potsdam. He is also a co-founder and geophysical consultant in fastloc GmbH. He specializes in seismo-mechanical analysis of mining- and fluid-induced seismicity, physics of earthquake source and earthquake scaling relations in broad range of scales between the acoustic emission from laboratory experiments on rock samples, in-situ nano- and pico-seismicity from (underground) laboratories and induced and natural microseismicity recorded at reservoir scale. He collaborates with commercial entities including mining- and geothermal energy companies – as a geophysical consultant and software developer for the near-realtime analysis and post-processing of induced seismicity. At GMuG he is responsible for analysis and interpretation of seismicity, software development and data visualization.
