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 Fabricating of Fiber Optic Interferometers

Our article entitled Addressing Challenges in Fabricating Reflection-Based Fiber Optic Interferometers has been published in the journal Sensors. In our work to study phase-transitions by use of fiber optic sensors, we found that their fabrication requires accurate control to obtain reproducible results. In the ...
