<br />Mario Schirmer, formerly a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Waterloo, is a scientist at the
<br />UFZ Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig -Halle in Germany. He is working on multiscale aspects of
<br />biodegradation and dissolution modeling and is involved in large-scale field assessments of natural attenuation.
<br />He obtained his Diplom in Geophysics in 1991 from the University Mining Academy Freiberg (Germany),
<br />worked at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) until 1993 and finishing his Ph.D. in 1998 at the University of
