Students that are enrolled in the Energy Engineering curriculum (LM30) for the academic year 2025/2026 must subscribe to the Engineering Thermofluids (EThF) e-learning website, where all the study material is going to be published.

• EThF website (link), 6 ECTS, 1st year, 1st semester, enrollment key: 2025ethf

I also teach two optional courses: Fusion Reactor Technology (FRT, previously known asTechnology and Physics of Fusion Energy) and Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics (LMM) (to be replaced in Spring 2026 with Liquid Metals in Energy Applications).

• Fusion Reactor Technology website (link), 6 ECTS, 2nd year, 1st semester, enrollment key: 2025frt
  • Why to enroll: if you are interested in nuclear fusion or like to know something about one of the most interesting engineering challenges of our age, right at the cutting edge of innovation in computational physics, material science, thermal-hydraulics, etc.
• Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics website (link), 3 ECTS, 1st year, 2nd semester, enrollment key: 2025LM
  • Why to enroll: if you are interested in fluid mechanics and want to learn something about numerical methods used to solve problems involving fluids, i.e. computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Electromagnetic fields included in the package.

Lectures can be attended remotely via Zoom:

• Engineering Thermofluids (link)
• Fusion Reactor Technology (link)
• Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics

and are usually recorded and distributed through the e-learning website after some time (no later than the scheduled course end).
