MIKEL DURAN LOPEZ

Presentation

Graduated in Renewable Energy Engineering at UPV/EHU in 2018 and Master in Renewable Materials Engineering in 2019. He obtained his PhD in 2024 with his thesis entitled ‘Microfluidic Approach for Flexible PCM Production’ at the UPV/EHU. His research activity has been focused on the development of thermoregulatory materials based on phase change materials (PCMs) and the use of microfluidics for their production. He is currently working as researcher at CIC energiGUNE in the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) area, focused on PCMs.
