Dennis Severin Hansen is an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University's Offshore Process Control and Cybernetics department within the Faculty of Engineering and Science. He specializes in carbon capture, hydrocyclone technology, and offshore energy systems. His research focuses on environmental engineering challenges such as CO2 transportation infrastructure, corrosion in energy systems, microplastics removal, and process control optimization. Hansen leads and participates in multiple interdisciplinary projects, including INNO-CCUS INFRASTRUCTURES and CarbonAdapt, addressing carbon capture storage, material integrity, and renewable energy integration. He has received the 2017 Best Poster award at a conference. Research Interests : Hansen’s work bridges mechanical engineering, environmental science, and control systems. Key areas include hydrocyclone efficiency modeling using real-time sensors, corrosion mechanisms in CO2 pipelines, and sustainable energy transition strategies. His projects emphasize practical applications in offshore oil/gas production, biochar utilization for agriculture, and decarbonization infrastructure. Recent Trends : Articles from 2023–2025 highlight advancements in CO2 impurity monitoring, corrosion mitigation in transportation systems, and optimizing hydrocyclone performance for microplastics capture. His work also explores policy implications of fossil fuel phase-outs and agricultural applications of biochar derived from sewage sludge. Awards : Best Poster Award (Recipient, November 2017) Advising & Grants : Supervises PhD candidates in carbon storage infrastructure and collaborates on projects funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, Ørsted A/S, and the Danish Offshore Technology Centre. Projects span $3.4M in grants focusing on carbon capture, renewable methanol production, and grid control software. Labs & Teams : Engaged with AAU Energy’s offshore process control group and collaborates internationally on CCUS infrastructure and microplastics remediation technologies.
