معرفی
Alan O'Donovan is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Limerick. He holds a PhD in Thermofluids (2015) and a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (2010), with a recent Graduate Diploma in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (2024). His research focuses on Thermal Engineering, Energy Management, and Decarbonisation, addressing challenges in sustainable energy systems, thermal storage, and material processing. He actively supervises PhD students and contributes to advancing renewable energy technologies.
Key research interests include optimizing thermal power plant performance through low-temperature thermal storage and modular air-cooled condenser design. He explores two-phase flow dynamics and residual stress reduction in aluminum alloys using uphill quenching techniques. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in clean energy and industrial innovation.
Publications span experimental and theoretical studies on thermal systems, with recent emphasis on renewable energy applications. He maintains active collaboration through his ORCID profile and LinkedIn network.
