Curriculum Vitae

Miguel Abreu de Almeida Mendes

Miguel Mendes is Assistant Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). He has a Master degree in Mechanical Engineering (2005), and a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering (2011) with focus on modeling of thermochemical conversion systems, both from IST. During his academic studies, he has received some scholarships and awards, including the Young Researchers UTL/Deloitte Award (2011) based on his PhD work and early publications. As a postdoctoral researcher, he has worked at the Chair of Gas and Heat Technology - Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (2011-2014), and at the Chair of Combustion Technology - Engler-Bunte-Institute - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (2014-2017), both in Germany. During these periods, he developed research activities in the framework of several industrial and European projects, taking over task leading as well as project co-management roles. Since 2017 he carries out teaching activities in the Scientific Area of Thermo-fluids and Energy Conversion Techniques at IST: responsible of Combustion and Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena courses; assistant of Heat Transfer and Climatization in Buildings courses. He has been supervising several PhD and Master students. He is the current responsible for the Combustion Laboratory of IDMEC/IST. In his professional activities, he has been interacting with several international collaborators in the co-authorship of around 40 scientific articles in high quality scientific journals. His actual research interests cover distinct areas of applied thermo-fluid dymanics, such as: 1) biomass characterization and thermochemical conversion; 2) reactive flows, phase-change and multi-mode heat and mass transport in porous and heterogeneous media; 3) modeling and simulation of energy conversion systems and renewable/sustainable energy sources; 4) system optimization and uncertainty quantification analysis; 5) alternative numerical methods for CFD and computational frameworks for simulation of complex multi-physical systems.
