Projects and Theses

Here I will be collecting information on various projects as well as my theses.

Bachelor's thesis

During the spring of 2023 I completed my bachelors thesis in materials and process design. My primary concern when choosing project was to be able to do something related to simulations and numerical analysis. This resulted in a project where I simulated heat tranfer in the walls of a ladle during pre-heating in collaboration with Ovako in Hofors. Based on tetragonal unstructured meshes generated using the open source programme Gmsh I wrote code in Julia that was able to solve the heat equation subject to a variety of boundary conditions using a finite volume methodology. Below are links for those interested in more details.
