ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

The research within the department covers a wide field within the areas energy and environment/sustainable development, from a global perspective to industrial, building, and product scale. The research fields include:

  • Energy technology and energy conversion, both experimentally and theoretically

  • Development, use and evaluation of methods and tools for analysis of technical systems, regarding both environment/sustainable development and energy.

Another field is Complex Systems, with theory and applications ranging from biochemical systems to social ones. We also give courses in these and related fields.
