From Classroom to Career

The presentations celebrated years of hard work, curiosity, and applied learning. With many thesis projects developed in close collaboration with industry partners, the event demonstrated how academic research can have a direct and meaningful impact in the real world.

Several industry supervisors attended the presentations, offering feedback and support—and even treating the students to lunch. Their presence also reflected the strong ties between the department and leading energy companies in Sweden and beyond.

Many of the students have already secured job offers from the very companies they collaborated with—showing the value of integrating academic work with industry needs.

Here are just a few examples of this year’s student–industry collaborations:

• Elín Ásta Pálsdóttir
  “Heat Load Profile Prognosis in Future District Heating Systems”
  in collaboration with Vattenfall

• Maulida Rahma
  “Heat Propagation in High Temperature Geothermal Wells”
  in collaboration with Jordkraft

• Arvid Johannisson
  “Threat Scenarios to the Swedish Power System”
  in collaboration with Svenska kraftnät

• Sara Johansson & Marija Lucija Pajtlar
  “Regulation Methods for Assessing Cost Efficiency of Electricity Grid Companies in Sweden”
  in collaboration with Ellevio

• Louise Åkerberg
  “Modelling Indoor Air Flows with Stratification and Computational Fluid Dynamics – A Comparative Analysis of Three Different Modelling Tools”
  in collaboration with Bengt Dahlgren Stockholm AB
