About us

Our team – lecturers, researchers, support staff, lab and workshop personnel – is available for applied research and development.

We aspire to achieve top international positioning in the field of thermal and fluid systems engineering:

Outstanding practically oriented training in energy technology
Innovative customer-oriented aR&D projects
Establishment and operation of a leading international research laboratory

We deploy the following resources in pursuit of this objective:

Broadly networked expertise, i.e. longstanding experience and a highly effective network of industrial partners and universities
Advantageous location in the “Energy Region Northwestern Switzerland” - CCEM, ETH, PSI, industry
Synergies with FHNW institutes
Ongoing expertise development among our excellent and dedicated staff
Inclusion of students in industrial projects

We are committed to working towards achieving and maintaining this ambitious goal on an ongoing basis.

Our institute is constantly extending its expertise through its contacts with other FHNW School of Engineering institutes in the areas of R&D physics, mechanical design, plastics, simulation, automation, particle measurement technology and data analysis. The tools we use are: both numerical and experimental. We have a large computational computer cluster, a wide array of experimental laboratories and extensive array of measurement techniques.
