Øyvind Wilhelmsen (born 1985) is a Norwegian professor of physical chemistry at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim (NTNU), Norway. There he is head of the Thermodynamics group[1] and serves as principal investigator at PoreLab, a Center of excellence.[2] His area of research is thermodynamics, with emphasis on non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

His most important research contributions are within transport processes across planar and curved interfaces, the understading of nucleation phenomena, thermodynamics of hydrogen and CO2 mixtures, and the thermodynamics of nano systems.[3]

Education and professional carrier

edit

Wilhelmsen completed his PhD in physical chemistry at NTNU in 2015 with the thesis Equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics of planar and curved interfaces.[4] Since 2010, he has worked as a researcher, later senior research scientist, at SINTEF.[5] In the period 2016–2021, he worked as a part-time professor at the Department of Energy and process engineering at NTNU, and in 2021 he was appointed full-time professor of physical chemistry at NTNU.

He has been a visiting scientist at ETH Zurich, University of Barcelona, Imperial College London and the University of Stuttgart.
