The development, distribution and storage of more efficient and affordable energy is a critical part of a sustainable future.
As one of the core units of the NETME Centre, the Energy and Resources group connects every link in the power conversion chain, ranging from analysing and processing energy resources, through researching the next generation of energy production facilities down to sophisticated methods of storing energy and consuming it efficiently.
Our team has a proven track record of analysing, designing and optimising energy grids on a system level. Combining skills in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid flow analysis as well as in mechanical design, prototyping and validation, the NETME Centre seeks to find answers to the challenges facing the power industry.
The research team is engaged in developing energy harvesting systems for the needs of modern, wireless applications, such as the internet of things (IoT),
The fracture-mechanics group consists of two senior researchers, one part-time senior researcher, four junior researchers and 2 PhD students. Officially
Tribology research is led by prof. Ing. Ivan Krupka, Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert in the field of tribology.
Intense, long-term work led
