Farid Aligolzadeh joined PoreLab on September 16th, 2024 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. His position is financed by the InterLab project which is an ERC starting grant for Professor Øivind Wilhelmsen
Farid is interested in a wide range of topics within thermo-fluids science, i.e. fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. He likes to combine numerical, experimental, and analytical methods to address fundamental questions in thermo-fluids, which are crucial for understanding natural phenomena and engineering applications. Currently, Farid is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at NTNU Department of Chemistry and PoreLab–Centre of Excellence working with Professor Øivind Wilhelmsen, primarily on the European Research Council (ERC) funded project InterLab, “Unravelling the fundamentals of transport across the vapor-liquid interface”.
