Research

At the Department of Energy and Technology, research is conducted within the disciplines of statistics and systems analysis, agricultural engineering, recycling technology, transportation logistics, and bioenergy. We are addressing sustainable production of food, the logistics of food-supply, sustainable fuel production, recycling technologies, and mathematical/statistical modelling and assessment of biological systems and processes.

Graduate and postgraduate education

The department's education is conducted at a number of programmes like the civil engineering programme of Energy Systems. We are giving courses on the design of sustainable energy systems, recycling technology, systems analysis, life cycle analysis, sustainable forestry, transportation logistics, geographical information systems, environmetrics and geoinformatics, modelling and simulation of biological systems and processes, mathematics and statistics (etc).

Consultation within statistics and GIS

The department offers consultation services within statistics, biometry, and geographical information systems (GIS). Here we co-operate with scientists and students within all disciplines that require experimental design, statistical inference, and interpretation of complex analysis results. In addition, we offer consultation services within all possible branches of GIS and geographic analysis.
