Dr. Bernhard Stoevesandt (Dr. rer. nat., M.Sc.)
Head of Department – Aerodynamics, CFD and stochastic dynamics, Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES)

Bernhard joined Fraunhofer IWES in 2011. As head of department he has been responsible for the build-up of the numerical site assessment group, the aerodynamics and a number of R&D projects – both, publicly funded and in cooperation with industry – around his focus of the analysis of wind fields and their effects for wind turbines. The main emphasis of his work was on numerical methods but also literature studies and validation campaigns were part of the work.

Before he joined Fraunhofer IWES, he worked as a scientist at the center of wind energy research of the University of Oldenburg, Germany. In 2010 he obtained his PhD in applied physics from the University of Oldenburg with his research work on turbulence at wind turbines.

Bernhard has been working on projects related to wind energy for the last 18 years. Since 2004 he is active in numerics for wind turbines in research and industrial development, including German Offshore Wind Potential 2050.

Prof. Christian Bak is a professor in rotor aerodynamics for wind turbines at DTU Wind and Energy Systems. He is head of the section Airfoil and Rotor Design and heading the new Poul la Cour Tunnel, that is a large aerodynamic and aeroacoustic wind tunnel dedicated wind energy. He has carried out research at Risø Campus since 1997 within theoretical and experimental airfoil and rotor aerodynamics. He has been designer and co-designer of the wind turbine dedicated Risø airfoils, which are used on MW rotors. Also, different concepts of rotor design have been investigated, e.g. he is co-inventor on the use of active trailing edge flaps for wind turbines. Examples of his activities are the detailed aerodynamic full-scale measurements on a 2 MW wind turbine rotor in the so-called DAN-AERO MW project, several wind tunnel measurement campaigns, principal organizer and project leader of the establishment of the artificial DTU 10 MW reference wind turbine and leading projects to investigate the influence of blade leading edge roughness on the aerodynamic performance. Finally, he has been the project leader of the establishment of the Poul la Cour Tunnel in Denmark.

Prof. Dr. Eniya Listiani Dewi.
Research Professor at National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) of Indonesia. After obtained the Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degree from Applied Chemistry Department of Waseda University Japan on 2003, she is involved for more than 20 years on proton exchange membrane fuel cells development, bioenergy, hydrogen production technology, including catalyst and ionic membrane research. She has more than 200 publications and received more than 30 awards on science, engineering and technology fields, such Asia Excellence Award, The Habibie Award, General Electric Company Award, Engineering Award, BJ Habibie Technology Award, etc. As a JSPS Fellow, she got the Mizuno Award and Koukenkai Award.

She was recognized as Board Director of International Association Hydrogen Energy (IAHE), founder and chairperson of Indonesia Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technology (IFHE), member of Indonesia National Academy of Science (AIPI) and the president of Indonesia Polymer Society (HPI). Currently, she is serving the government communities on energy transition policy.

Lasse Rosendahl, PhD

Aalborg University · Department of Energy Technology

Lasse A. Rosendahl was born in Ribe, Denmark, in 1967. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark. From 1998 to 1999, he was with the Department of Energy Technology, Aalborg University, as an Assistant Professor, and as an Associate Professor from 2000 to 2007. In 1999, he was employed with Research and Development Department, Grundfos A/S. He has been a Professor with Aalborg University since 2007, and until 2020, he headed the Advanced Biofuels at the department. In 2020, he became head of department at AAU Energy His current research interests include thermochemical biomass conversion technologies, liquid biofuels and novel energy technologies, including modeling, simulation, and design with a focus on optimized efficiency.

The mission of the Advanced Biofuels research group is to develop innovative and energy efficient thermochemical conversion processes for biomass feedstocks producing high grade bio-fuel products. In near and long term perspective biomass will become key as a source for renewable fuels and intermediates for carbon containing products. The biomass research programme is dedicated to adding value and sustainability to a wide range of products and to provide a viable route to large scale, sustainable production of biofuels. .
