I am a postoctoral researcher working on the formulation of hybrid thermodynamic models that combine physical knowledge with new methods from machine learning (ML). THe main focus hereby is are new fundamental equations of state (EOS) and transport property models for pure fluids and mixtures. As important part of this work, I’m engaged in the developement of thermodynamic open source libraries in the Julia language – including the new machine learning models (see Projects).
