Abstract
Greek
18.08.1976
Lydia Fryda works as a researcher at ECN, Unit Biomass, Coal and
Environmental research, group of Heat and Power. As a researcher, her
main focus of work is advanced coal combustion and co firing coal with
biomass. Since her joining ECN in May 2007 she has worked on EU projects
on oxyfuel combustion of coal/biomass, and on the national EOS LT Co
firing program. From 2009 she is project manager of two RFCS projects.
Lydia graduated in Mechanical Engineering at NTUA, Greece, where she
obtained her PhD in biomass gasification and evaluation of energy systems
using exergy analysis, in cooperation with the TU of Munich. She has been
working as a research associate at the National Technical University of
Athens until may 2007.
