معرفی
Emil Lidman Olsson is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in thermal conversion processes and fire safety engineering with direct contributions to UN Sustainable Development Goals for clean energy and climate action.
His core research focuses on biomass thermochemical conversion, particularly the transformation of phosphorus, potassium, and sodium during pyrolysis and gasification of agricultural residues like wheat straw and sunflower seed shells. Concurrently, he advances fire safety engineering through development of laboratory-scale testing protocols for intumescent coatings, addressing critical gaps between industrial-scale performance and standardized testing methods. This dual expertise bridges fundamental chemical engineering with practical industrial safety applications.
Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory: optimizing biomass conversion efficiency while mitigating inorganic-related challenges, and establishing reliable fire performance metrics for next-generation protective coatings. His work consistently integrates thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and model compound studies to solve real-world energy and safety problems.
No scientific awards, fellowships, or medals are documented in his current professional profile.
Dr. Olsson actively supervises PhD candidate A. Batsinis in the DTU project "Sustainable Blowing Agent Systems for Intumescent Coatings" (2025-2028), building on his own recently completed doctoral research "Phosphorous chemistry in Biomass Combustion" (2019-2023) under Professors H. Wu and K. Dam-Johansen. His projects receive institutional funding through DTU's research infrastructure with potential industry partnerships implied by the applied nature of his fire safety work.
Based in DTU's Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, he operates within a collaborative network spanning thermal analysis specialists, combustion experts, and fire safety researchers. His laboratory work leverages advanced facilities for thermogravimetric analysis, pyrolysis reactors, and fire testing chambers, positioning DTU at the forefront of sustainable chemical engineering research in Scandinavia.
