Jomar Thonstad
Background and activities
As a professor emeritus, I work with research projects and consultancy assignments. I have an extensive network of international contacts and I have active cooperation with researchers in three countries. My main interest is aluminum electrolysis, and my research is mainly related to the fundamental and practical issues surrounding this process, including new technology.
