We are delighted to share that Prof. Leyla Amiri (Université de Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada) has been successfully nominated as a Hans Fischer Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Technical University of Munich (TUM).
Prof. Amiri’s research focuses on packed-bed rock thermal energy storage (TES) systems, with an emphasis on enhancing thermal stratification, durability, and efficiency for industrial and remote applications. Her work combines multi-physics modeling with experimental validation to tackle key challenges in renewable energy storage—paving the way for scalable, cost-effective solutions for future power grids.
This fellowship will support a three-year collaboration hosted by Prof. N.A. Adams at the Munich Institute of Integrated Materials, Energy and Process Engineering, where a computational-experimental synergistic approach will be employed to develop robust TES systems that adapt to dynamic renewable energy patterns and demands.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the TUM Institute for Advanced Study for funding this impactful project.
