Wrapping up the year with Delight and Supriya!
As we close out the year, we’re excited to welcome two new faces to the HPT division: Delight and Supriya. With a holiday spirit and a passion for innovation, they’ve joined us to tackle key challenges in industrial decarbonization and digital twins for smart energy systems.
Meet Delight
Delight will contribute to the research on industrial decarbonization within the HPT group , focusing on the integration of high temperature thermal energy storage and other renewable heat technologies to “hard-to-abate” sectors such as the ceramic industry. His work will also span across the incorporation of non-conventional electrified heating methods (like induction and microwave heating) to targeted industrial processes where they would be more beneficial than conventional heating. Delight’s research would be majorly embedded within the framework of EU-funded projects eLITHE and JOULIA , whilst under the supervision of Rafael and Silvia .
Meet Supriya
Supriya will be a part of the Vinnova funded Dig-IT Lab project on Digital Twins in collaboration with industrial partners EQUA and Einar Mattsson. Her project aim to develop a scalable and comprehensive Digital Twin framework for a smart grid connected building. It will incorporate dynamic demands of buildings, intermittency of renewable energy sources and occupant behavior to provide a nuanced approach for demand-side management. The digital twin prioritizes occupant well-being, improvement in overall energy efficiency and optimization of energy performance and flexible loads. She will be working closely with Farzin , Marco and Davide .
As 2024 comes to a close, we’re thrilled to welcome Delight and Supriya to the team.
Happy holidays from all of us at HPT :) — see you in 2025!
