Thomas Condra

Thomas Condra is an Associate Professor at Aalborg University's Faculty of Engineering and Science, specializing in Thermal Engineering with a focus on Hydrogen and Electro-fuels. He is affiliated with AAU Energy and holds an ORCID identifier: 0000-0002-1140-6415. His research emphasizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), waste heat recovery systems, and marine exhaust gas cleaning technologies.

Key projects include the ongoing CFD Modelling of PEM Fuel Cells (since 2010), the Packed Bed Scrubber for Marine Exhaust Gas Cleaning (2018–2021), and the THERMCYC project on low-temperature heat utilization (2014–2017). He has supervised 5 PhD students and contributed to 78 research outputs, including 50+ peer-reviewed articles.

His work spans CFD modeling of biomass combustion, pressure loss optimization in marine scrubbers, and porosity models for packed beds. Notable contributions include a 2009 Energy Prize for a project promoting cleaner shipping practices through innovative exhaust gas cleaning systems.

Dr. Condra collaborates with industry and academia, leading initiatives like the Inno-MT environmental technology network (2016–2017). His current focus includes advancing hydrogen and electro-fuel technologies alongside sustainable marine engineering solutions.
