Bahram Moshfegh is Professor of Energy Engineering at the University of Gävle, holding positions in the Department of Energy Systems within the School of Engineering and Technology. He concurrently serves as Chairman of the Division of Energy Systems at Linköping University since 2001 and previously held leadership roles including Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research (2015–2017) and Dean of Education and Research (2000–2014) at the University of Gävle.
His research spans energy systems with emphasis on industrial cooling technology, building energy efficiency, and renewable energy integration. Notable specializations include jet impingement cooling for metallurgical processes, confluent jet ventilation systems for large spaces, and energy renovation methodologies for historic buildings. His work bridges theoretical modeling with industrial applications through collaborations with AstraZeneca, Volvo, Scania, and steel manufacturers.
Recent publications (2022-2025) reveal a strong focus on advanced cooling techniques for industrial materials processing, AI-enhanced energy management in data centers, and sustainable building technologies including greenhouse climate control and direct air capture integration. His research increasingly incorporates machine learning for thermal system optimization while maintaining core expertise in fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
Award Highlights:
- World Renewable Energy Pioneers’ Award 2014 for outstanding renewable energy contributions
- Recognition in Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences IVA's 100 List 2020 for sustainable competitiveness research
Moshfegh has supervised 22 doctoral and licentiate students including Hans Jonsson, Mathias Cehlin, and Mohammad Jahedi, with several establishing successful ventures like Thermalsol and Nordic Energy Audit AB. His research is supported by over 150 MSEK in grants from Swedish Energy Agency, FORMAS, VR, and Vinnova, with total project leadership exceeding 300 MSEK. Current projects focus on techno-economic assessment of heritage building renovations and advanced cooling technologies for metallurgical applications.
He leads the Research School Resource Efficient Energy System in Built Environment (REESBE) and maintains active industry partnerships across 30+ companies while serving on editorial boards including Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering.
