PhD project: Chemical and physical incorporation of bio-molecules into capillary-porous bio-materials for energy savings
Supervisor: Mohamed Jebrane
Dissertation planned to: 2023
Research area:
I am interested in mechanical characteristics of wood and wood fibers as a bio-based porous structure to shape stabilize and micro-encapsulate organic bio-based phase change materials (OBPCMs) for energy storage purposes in buildings. We aim at enhancing thermal and physical capabilities of wood fibers as cost effective, renewable and sustainable bio-based materials for building applications with focus on energy management.
Research theme: 1-wood components, 3-material forming, 4-material concepts
