Modelling of Energy Systems
- Understanding energy processes and flows (conversion, transfer and use), from natural resources to end users, regarding economic viability and technical integration in energy systems
Renewable Energy
- Modelling, characterisation, prototyping and condition monitoring of energy conversion technologies, from geo, hydro, wind, solar, tidal, wave and biomass/waste resources, in face of different production scenarios
Energy Conversion, Efficiency & Management
- Production of electricity and biofuels, for heating and cooling, in buildings, transportation, agriculture and industrial processes
Energy and Indoor Environmental Quality
- Monitoring and modelling supporting interventions to improve wellbeing, health and safety of indoor occupants in a sustainable way. Guidelines for regulators, facility managers and users
Industrial Ecology
- Holistic and systematic approaches exploring trade-offs and synergies between economy and environment in the product life-cycle, to support society towards sustainable production and consumption
Combustion and Detonics
- Experimental and numerical studies on combustion, flammability, toxicity of materials and smoke, fuels, energetic materials, pyrotechnics and detonation
