Fraunhofer-Einrichtung für Energieinfrastrukturen und Geothermie IEGThomas Reinsch ist seit August 2020 Leiter des Bereiches Labore und Reallabore am Fraunhofer IEG. Nach dem Studium der Physik (Diplom Physiker; 2001-2007) und Geologie (Diplom Geologe; 2004-2008) an der Universität zu Köln, hat er an der Technischen Universität Clausthal in Kooperation mit dem Deutschen GeoFoschungsZentrum (GFZ) im Fachbereich »Erdöl- und Erdgastechnik« zum Thema Bohrlochintegrität in Hochtemperaturgeothermiebohrungen promoviert. Thomas Reinsch arbeitete erst als Doktorand (2008-2012), im Anschluss als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (2012-2016) und dann als Gruppenleiter in der Sektion »Geothermische Energiesysteme« am GFZ. Nach der Übernahme der stellvertretenden Sektionsleitung im März 2017, erfolgte im Jahr 2018 ein Forschungsaufenthalt and der Technischen Universität Delft in der Sektion »Reservoir Engineering« im Department »Geoscience & Engineering«. Im Anschluss übernahm Thomas Reinsch erneut eine Gruppenleitung in der Sektion »Geoenergie« am GFZ (2018-2020), bevor er im März 2020 als Gruppenleiter in die Sektion »Oberflächennahe Geophysik« wechselte.
