Presentation: A striking aspect of the contribution of Shlomo Neuman to hydrogeology is that he has been the mentor of several generations of students and collaborators who became or are becoming leading research in many universities worldwide. In this interview by J. Carrera and A. Guadagnini, Shlomo P. Neuman reminds most of his former students and colleagues and highlight their contributions.

About Shlomo P. Neuman: Shlomo Peter Neuman is Regents professor of Hydrology and Water Resources at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and he is clearly one of the scientists who changed the face of hydrogeology during the 20th century. Starting with his early work on well hydraulics, he has been continuously exploring new challenges and developed theoretical and numerical tools that provided practical answers to a broad range of problems including aquifer characterization, inverse modeling, fractured media, stochastic method, or multiscale analysis. His influence on the profession can be directly measured today by the high number of his former students or collaborators who are now leading some of the most active hydrogeological research groups in the world.
