Antti Ritari

Antti Ritari is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalto University's Department of Energy and Mechanical Engineering. His research specializes in optimization techniques for sustainable marine energy systems, with a focus on battery-electric vessels, hybrid power systems, and zero-emission shipping solutions. He actively collaborates on projects such as the DAZE-EVET initiative, which targets data-driven approaches to reduce maritime emissions.

Research Focus: Ritari's work integrates convex optimization with naval engineering challenges. Key areas include:

• Design optimization for marine powertrains and energy storage
• Thermal management and battery systems for ships
• Trajectory planning and control of hybrid-electric vessels
• Lifecycle analysis of retrofits and alternative fuels

Recent Publications: His 2022-2024 outputs demonstrate consistent focus on marine energy optimization, with methodologies spanning geometric programming, multiperiod modeling, and supervisory control systems. Thematic analysis shows 80% of works directly address decarbonization of maritime transport.
