Ailo Aasen has started his PhD in the group. He has a solid background in mathematics (Msc. degree). In addition, he has more than two years of experience with thermodynamic modelling from his work at SINTEF Energy Research. He was awarded with ...

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 ...

Our article on the energy efficient reindeer nose entitled: “The Nasal Geometry of the Reindeer Gives Energy-Efficient Respiration” has been picked up by several national media outlets such as Gemini, Teknisk Ukeblad, Forskning.no, Computerworld, and international media outlets such as Sciencedaily, Arabian Post (Newspaper in the United Arab Emirates) , Obwaldner Zeitung ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our article on how to describe transport of heat and mass across the vapor-liquid interface of water entitled: “Coherent description of transport across the water interface: From nanodroplets to climate models” has been picked up by several national media outlets such as Gemini, Teknisk Ukeblad, Forskning.no, as well ...

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 ...
