Andres Annuk

Andres Annuk serves as a Professor in Energy Supply at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, within the Institute of Forestry and Engineering's Chair of Energy Application Engineering. His research extensively explores renewable energy integration, sustainable construction, and energy system optimization.

Research interests focus on renewable energy systems (wind-solar hybrids, geothermal), energy storage technologies (battery-hydrogen solutions, phase-change materials), and data-driven approaches for energy management (machine learning for forecasting, optimization algorithms). Applications span residential microgrids, building efficiency, and waste-to-energy conversion.

Recent publications (2024–2025) demonstrate strong emphasis on: 1) Machine learning applications in energy infrastructure (soil stress prediction, solar data imputation), 2) Hybrid renewable systems (wind-hydrogen microgrids, geothermal co-generation), and 3) Sustainable construction (thermal storage materials, life-cycle assessment). Technical methodologies frequently involve finite element analysis, optimization algorithms, and stochastic modeling.
