Doctoral Research on Energy Processes and Power-to-X Systems at NTUA

Project Overview

The Laboratory of Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena at NTUA invites a doctoral candidate to conduct research in Energy Processes focusing on Power-to-X technologies. The project centers on analyzing, modeling, and experimentally developing advanced Power-to-X systems integrating renewable energy sources with thermochemical processes such as the Sabatier and Haber–Bosch reactions, along with pyrolysis and gasification technologies for biofuels and high-value bioproducts production.

What You Will Do

The PhD student will undertake high-level research combining experimental work and computational modeling. Responsibilities include collaboration with academic staff and research teams, supervising BSc and MSc theses, preparing technical reports and scientific publications, supporting teaching activities, and contributing to academic events such as conferences and seminars.

Expected Outcomes

Outcomes include development of advanced Power-to-X systems for sustainable energy production, integration of renewable energy with thermochemical conversion pathways, and generation of new scientific knowledge published in reputable journals. The project aims to advance the understanding and application of biofuel production and valuable bioproduct synthesis.

Why This Matters

Advancing Power-to-X technologies is critical for decarbonizing energy systems and enabling a circular economy. The focus on renewable integration and thermochemical processes addresses pressing global challenges in sustainable energy generation and utilization, supporting energy transition goals and creating environmental and economic benefits.
