Doctoral Dissertations

Doctoral Dissertations encapsulate the nucleus of research conducted in the Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics, Cooling Technology and Refrigerated Vehicles. PhD candidates work under the guidance of professors in close and fruitful collaboration with other academic and research members of the laboratory. To date, several publications in international scientific journals and conferences testify to our PhD candidates’ dedication to research and doctoral studies.
