معرفی
Rajan Kumar Thapa serves as Professor in the Department of Process, Energy and Environmental Technology at the Faculty of Technology, Natural Sciences and Maritime Sciences, University of South-Eastern Norway. Based at the Porsgrunn campus, he holds dual responsibilities in advanced structural engineering education and cutting-edge renewable energy research.
His research portfolio centers on sustainable energy systems with emphasis on:
- Biomass gasification optimization in fluidized bed reactors
- Computational modeling of multiphase fluid-particle interactions
- Thermochemical conversion processes for waste valorization
- Structural integrity analysis of industrial piping systems
Professor Thapa's work bridges theoretical modeling with practical engineering applications, targeting efficiency improvements in renewable energy infrastructure. His doctoral research established foundational methodologies for flow behavior optimization in biomass conversion systems.
He actively mentors PhD, Master's and Bachelor's students while teaching specialized courses in Pipe and Structure Material Engineering. Current supervision focuses on computational energy systems and structural reliability projects within Norway's sustainable technology framework.
