Simone Parisi

Simone Parisi is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in thermal energy systems and turbomachinery. He completed his PhD at DTU in 2024 with research on turbomachinery for packed-bed thermal energy storage systems under Professor Fredrik Haglind's supervision.

His research focuses on:

• Thermal Energy Storage (including cryogenic and pumped thermal systems)
• Advanced Turbomachinery design and modeling
• Power cycle optimization (Rankine, Brayton, and hybrid cycles)
• Two-phase flow applications for waste heat recovery
• Numerical methods for compressor and turbine performance prediction

Recent publications demonstrate deep expertise in energy storage integration, with emphasis on liquid air systems coupled with solar or district cooling, and innovative two-phase turbine modeling. His work bridges theoretical non-dimensional analysis with practical industrial applications in geothermal and waste heat utilization.

Dr. Parisi actively contributes to major EU-funded projects including EMPOWER (geothermal/waste heat power generation) and Best4Grid (battery-grid stability), collaborating with Professor Haglind's research group. Current work explores zero-dimensional compressor models and hybrid storage-district energy synergies.
