Bernhard Peters

A graduate in Mechanical Engineering (Dipl-.-Ing.) and PhD from Technical University of Aachen, he is currently head of the Thermo-/Fluid dynamics section at the University of Luxembourg and an academic visitor to the Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI). After a post-doctoral research associate at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London, UK, he established a research team dedicated to thermal conversion of solid fuels at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and worked hereafter in industry at AVL List GmbH, Austria. His research activities at the University of Luxembourg include thermo-/fluid dynamics in particular multi-phase flow, reaction engineering, numerical modelling, High Performance Computing (HPC) and all aspects of particulate materials such as motion and conversion for which he developed the Extended Discrete Element Method (XDEM).
