Altti Meriläinen, M.Sc. (Tech.), works as a Junior Researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering at LUT University. He is pursuing a doctoral degree focusing on the optimal use of renewable electricity and thermal energy in buildings. His research examines, from a techno-economic perspective, how buildings can act as flexible energy users in response to wind and solar power, the optimal sizing of local electricity and heat generation and storage, and the best practices for system control (B2RECoM). Additionally, he is involved in research on electric road transport, from the perspective of heavy-duty vehicles and their charging infrastructure (ACE, PHOENIX). In his free time, he enjoys various activities, including cycling, jogging, skiing, and working on personal engineering projects.
