I work as an associate professor at the Laboratory of Fluid Dynamics. My research areas include several different energy production and storage processes and machines e.g. steam turbines, gas turbines, micro turbines, supercritical CO2, energy storage, and wind turbines. The first objective of my research is to improve the performance of energy systems by better fundamental understanding of the fluid mechanics in those systems. The found flow mechanisms and loss sources are further applied in the development of improved design methodology. The second objective is to combine different fields of science to solve both global and local renewable energy related problems. I have been involved in studies that combine fluid dynamics and turbomachinery for example with electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, economics, life cycle assessment, and social studies.
