Professor working with research and education in energy technology and thermal process chemistry.
I work as a professor conducting research and teaching in the field of energy technology, with a particular focus on thermochemical energy conversion and other industrial high-temperature processes.
The research aims to provide new knowledge that benefits society and industry in the effort to increase the use of new fuels and materials, develop and improve industrial processes, avoid costly operational problems, recover finite resources, and minimize harmful by-products and pollutants. Our projects revolve around inorganic high-temperature chemistry in industrial applications. Focus areas in ongoing projects include:
Utilization of low-grade residual streams in energy conversion processes
Various aspects of production capacity, energy efficiency, product quality, emissions, and sustainability in the production of cement clinker, burnt lime, and dolomite
Supporting industry through the application of knowledge to prevent operational disruptions, ensure product quality, reduce energy consumption and emissions, promote circular economy, as well as through experimental full-scale trials, process development, and innovation
The research is conducted within the framework of the Center for Sustainable Production of Cement and Quicklime at Umeå University and within the Thermochemical Energy Conversion Laboratory (TEC-Lab). These environments bring together more than 30 researchers who contribute to the projects with diverse and complementary expertise.
I am since 2025 the Director of RECEM - Research School for Excellence in Cementitious Materials Science
