Leading the team that is specialized in efficient and low-carbon powertrains for transportation and non-road working machinery utilizing sustainable, alternative energy sources. Main focus is in internal combustion engines and in different hybridization techniques. Measurements, performance testing and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations of powertrains and vehicles (HDV, LDV). Simulation of operation of vehicle fleets. See more https://www.vttresearch.com/en/beyond2030/climate-action/low-carbon-mobility

Leading the team that specialized in Virtual piloting of Vehicle fleets to promote the solutions for low-carbon transportation. Virtual piloting is offered as specialist service using simulation and data analysis. Main focus in HDV and NRMM fleet operations incl. infrastructure (e.g. bus, city delivery, long-haul, refuse collection). The team develop and maintain in-house simulation tool and provide research services. See more https://www.vttresearch.com/en/beyond2030/climate-action/low-carbon-mobility

Design and build-up of MVPs for research platforms

Research of agricultural machinery with orientation to cost-efffective and environmental friendly solutions in powertrains. Incl. alternative fuels, autonomous functions, novel propulsion concepts

The research topics within the mobile working machines incl. Hybridization, HIL simulations and Modelling and simulation of fluid power circuits. Teaching Mechatronics. Project manager in Development of the field maintenance of mobile working machines by remote operated devices and by the tacit knowledge of experienced personnel. Development of modeling methods suitable for fluid power (hydraulic) system simulation. Two research visits (Linz, Austria 2013 and Valencia, Spain 2016).

As Postdoctoral Researcher at LUT I carried out research visit to Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. Research topic singularly perturbed models in fluid power circuit simulation.

Research was focused on the real-time simulation of fluid power circuits. This resulted into the dissertation. That period also included six months research visit in the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy.

During my Doctoral studies at LUT I did a research visit in the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. During the visit I: - Completed course Computational Fluid Dynamics Fundamentals - Applied CFD analysis to assist in design of specific flow channel

Research was focused on the real-time simulation of fluid power circuits and on the control of motion platform. This resulted into the M.Sc. thesis and one scientific article.
