Thermal Fluids
and Energy
Group (TFE)
We are an interdisciplinary group led by Dr. Michael Gibbons focused on the decarbonisation of energy systems, thermal energy transport, conversion and storage, electronics cooling and zero-carbon technologies to address domestic and global energy challenges at Trinity College Dublin.
