About
Nelson Soares is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra since 2020. He obtained a PhD in Sustainable Energy Systems, in 2015, from the University of Coimbra, in the framework of the MIT-Portugal Sustainable Energy Systems Program. He also holds a Master's degree in Energy for Sustainability and a Master's degree in Civil Engineering. He is an integrated researcher of the Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics; the Association for the Development of Industrial Aerodynamics; and the Energy for Sustainability Initiative of the University of Coimbra. From 2016 to 2019, Soares conducted his postdoctoral research project at the Association for the Development of Industrial Aerodynamics, which was devoted to the study of rectangular cavities filled with phase change materials (PCM) for the storage of solar thermal energy for buildings. His current research covers the assessment of advanced thermal energy storage systems with PCM for buildings; the dynamic simulation of energy in buildings; the assessment of innovative construction technologies and materials towards a low carbon and more sustainable built environment; the study of renewable energy-based technologies for the improvement of the energy performance of buildings; and the study of interrelated energy systems to drive the transition towards a more circular economy in the construction sector. Soares was awarded "Best Review Paper 2008-2017" by Energy & Buildings (Elsevier).
