On May 30, 2024, during a TKD department meeting at OsloMet, we celebrated the inauguration of GrønnMet. Arvind presented GrønnMet’s initiative and encouraged fellow faculty members to participate in our exciting new effort to promote interdisciplinary research collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field of green energy. And yes, there was cake—because what’s a celebration without a sweet treat?
Were happy to announce that the Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical engineering were allocated two PhD fellowships. Congratulations to Behrouz Arash (mechanical) and Tiina Komulainen (electronics). Their projects are:
Come work with us as a PhD student in Advanced Materials Technology and help us developing new methods for the fabrication of nanomaterials and exploring their applications in energy storage.
There is currently a vacancy for a PhD position at the Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical engineering (MEK) at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design (TKD), in the field of Advanced Materials Technology, related to the project “Micromanufacturing and Energy Materials”. The PhD candidate will be part of the research group Mechanical, Mechatronics and Materials Technology (M3T), as well as GreenMet – OsloMet Green Energy Laboratory. The position is for a period of three years, and the person appointed should preferably take up the position as soon as possible.
The PhD project “Micromanufacturing and Energy Materials” has two main goals:
Are you interested, or know someone who might be?
Our Mechanical Engineering Team at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University has secured strategic funding for the GrønnMet project.
GrønnMet serves as a central hub for interdisciplinary research collaboration and knowledge dissemination in the field of green energy. Its mission is to bring together academics, industry professionals, and STEM students, fostering innovation and sustainable solutions.
A standout feature of GrønnMet is the GreenVirtualSpace – an immersive digital platform that replicates physical laboratory settings. This cutting-edge innovation is particularly advantageous for the space-constrained at Pilestredet 35 campus. Researchers and users can now conduct experiments, tests, and studies without relying on traditional physical tools or facilities.
GrønnMet represents a leap forward in green energy research and education. As we celebrate this achievement, we look forward to the positive impact it will have on our community and the broader field of sustainable energy.
