Research Topics
Energy Conversion, Efficiency and Management
Renewable Energy
Sustainable Built & Outdoor Environment
Forest/Urban Fires, Clean Combustion and Detonics
Energy Conversion, Efficiency and Management
- Production of electricity and biofuels for heating and cooling in buildings, transportation, agriculture and industry
- Understanding energy processes and flows (conversion, transfer, and use), from natural resources to end users, regarding economic viability and technical integration in energy systems
- Fluid dynamics and thermal optimization, turbulence, microfluidics, wind engineering and industrial aerodynamics, aerodynamics of vehicles and structures and heat transfer phenomena
Renewable Energy
- Modelling, characterization, prototyping and condition monitoring of energy conversion technologies, from geo, hydro, wind, solar, tidal, wave and biomass/waste resources in different production scenarios
Sustainable Built & Outdoor Environment
- 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
Forest/Urban Fires, Clean Combustion and Detonics
- Fundamental and applied research on fire spread and safety under extreme fire behaviour conditions, analysing terrain, fuel, and weather factors and the dynamic behaviour of fires in industrial, urban and forest environments
- Experimental and numerical studies on combustion, flammability, toxicity of materials and smoke, fuels, energetic materials, pyrotechnics, and detonation
