Nicolae ANTONESCU

Associate Professor Nicolae ANTONESCU serves on the teaching staff at the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest (UTCB), specializing in thermal systems engineering and sustainable waste management solutions. His work bridges industrial applications with environmental technology development.

Research focuses include:

• Thermal appliance design for fossil/biogenic fuels
• Urban/industrial/hazardous waste treatment technologies
• Heat recovery systems for industrial platforms
• Hydrogen-blended gas combustion effects on thermal equipment
• Condensing-mode boiler systems optimization
• Thermolysis/pyrolysis of fuels and waste materials
• Biogas production and urban landfill energy management

His technical testing expertise spans thermal efficiency measurement, emissions analysis, fire resistance certification, and fuel calorific value determination. Current research trends emphasize decarbonization through hydrogen integration and circular economy approaches in waste-to-energy conversion.

Dr. Antonescu actively supervises graduate research while conducting energy audits for industrial complexes. His laboratory capabilities include full-scale testing of combustion equipment and waste treatment systems, with recent projects targeting European Union sustainability directives for urban infrastructure.
