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.

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:

In a new paper, we present quantum corrections for cubic EoS that dramatically improve their performance for hydrogen, helium, deuterium, neon and mixtures that contain these components.

March 21, 2022
Our paper entitled Accurate quantum-corrected cubic equations of state for helium, neon, hydrogen, deuterium and their mixtures has been published in Fluid Phase Equilibria. Cubic equations of state have thus far yielded poor predictions of the thermodynamic properties of quantum fluids such as hydrogen, ...
