from Aalborg University and an M.S. from
Virginia Tech, both with a strong emphasis
on hydrogen-based energy technologies.
An internationally recognized expert in
hydrogen systems, he has extensive experience
in the design, modeling, optimization,
and experimental validation of integrated
green hydrogen solutions. His work focuses
on system-level strategies that advance
the transition toward resilient, low-carbon
energy infrastructures. He has authored
over 65 peer-reviewed publications and
secured competitive fellowships and research
grants from diverse funding programs.
He has also played key roles in several
international research consortia on hydrogen
and sustainable energy, including Horizon
Europe projects. Beyond his research, he is
actively involved in education and training,
having taught courses on renewable energy
systems, numerical methods, and hydrogen
technologies. In parallel, he contributes to
capacity-building efforts through Erasmus+
projects on green hydrogen education across
Europe and the Mediterranean. Additionally,
he serves on editorial boards. Committed
to science outreach, he actively promotes
public engagement and knowledge transfer
through various events, workshops, and
training initiatives.

Klappentext

Green Hydrogen Energy Systems explores the vital technologies and methods for generating, storing, and utilizing green hydrogen. By adopting an energy systems approach, the book offers a comprehensive review of green hydrogen systems, integrating principles, configurations, progress, and applications, bolstered by technoeconomic analyses and performance data. Addressing common challenges, it explains processes for developing and constructing basic and advanced green hydrogen systems. The book details the fundamentals of hydrogen technologies, including thermodynamics, kinetics, energy loss mechanisms, and costs.

It covers aspects such as heat release, clean water usage in electrolyzers, system configurations, and includes real-world performance data, case studies, hydrogen hubs, safety, and economics.
