Our paper entitled: The spinodal of single- and multi-component fluids and its role in the development of modern equations of state has been accepted for publication in Fluid Phase Equilibria. The spinodal represents the limit of thermodynamic stability of a homogeneous fluid. In this work, we present a robust methodology to obtain the spinodal of multicomponent fluids …

Our paper entitled: Exploring the potential for waste heat recovery during metal casting with thermoelectric generators: On-site experiments and mathematical modeling has been accepted for publication in Energy. Since casting of metals like silicon occurs at a very high temperature (about 1750 K), much heat disappears into the surroundings by radiation. Thermoelectric generators are scalable and simple …

Our paper entitled: The Permselectivity and Water Transference Number of Ion Exchange Membranes in Reverse Electrodialysis has been accepted for publication in the Journal of membrane science. Ion exchange membranes are the main components of equipment to perform reverse electrodialysis, i.e. to produce electricity from the mixing of fresh-water (from rivers) and sea-water. In the article, we …

Our paper entitled: “The Nasal Geometry of the Reindeer Gives Energy-Efficient Respiration” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. In the article, we show that the complicated geometry and internal structure of the nose of arctic reindeer help them to survive in the harsh arctic climate by making breathing more energy-efficient. In particular, …

I received the prize for the best PhD thesis at the faculty of natural sciences at NTNU, 2016. I am very honored by this. Unfortunately, I was abroad and could not receive the prize myself. Fortunately, my good friend and close colleague Dr. Anders Lervik received the prize on my behalf (the good-looking guy in …

The Journal of Chemical Physics is, in my opinion, the best “regular” journal to publish research on topics within chemical physics. A total of 2544 articles, communications, perspectives etc. were published there in 2015. Among these, our paper entitled “Tolman length and rigidity constants of the Lennard-Jones fluid” was chosen as one out of 65 articles to …

Our article was selected to be Editors choice in J. Chem. Phys. for 2015! Read More »

Our paper entitled “Heat transport through a solid-solid junction: the interface as an autonomous thermodynamic system” has been accepted for publication in the journal, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. The work was performed in collaboration with Dr. Riccardo Rurali from the Materials Science Institute of Barcelona, Prof. Dr. Luciano Colombo from the Department of Physics at the University of Cagliari, Prof. Dr. Xavier …
