Welcome to my research group

I am a Professor at the Department of Chemistry at NTNU and responsible for the Thermodynamics group. I am also one of the PIs of the Norwegian Centre of Excellence for research on porous media, Porelab.

spinodal

Our research group has a broad portfolio of activities within equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We combine experiments, theory and molecular simulations to address a variety of scientific and industrially relevant challenges, where sustainability and development of fundamental knowledge is important. Our lines of research are:

New paper on ejector modeling and exergy destruction

Our new paper entitled One-dimensional mathematical modeling of two-phase ejectors: Extension to mixtures and mapping of the local exergy destruction has just been published in Applied Thermal Engineering. The ejector is a process equipment frequently used in refrigeration processes. In the paper, we ...
