Kristoffer Skjelanger received his master’s degree in theoretical atomic, nuclear, and particle physics at the University of Bergen in 2022. His thesis dealt with using analytical and numerical methods for calculating the energy-loss of jets in heavy-ion collisions. From 2022 to 2024, he worked as a project engineer at Clara Venture Labs in Bergen, where he took part in the research and development process of prototype electrolysers and fuel cell systems for space applications. In spring of 2024, he returned to academia in order to pursue doctoral studies at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences under the supervision of Carina Bringedal and Jonathan Økland Torstensen.
The topic of his doctoral project is "Modelling and simulation of a rotating electrolyser". In this context he investigates how to determine and quantify the increased efficiency gained from rotating a PEM electrolyser using various modelling techniques. During his research exchange at the University of Stuttgart he will familiarize himself with DuMux for modelling of two-phase flow in porous media systems. His host is Bernd Flemisch.
