Research
Sina Orangi is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at NTNU, working under the FME Battery research center (ntnu.edu/fmebattery). His research focuses on the recycling of lithium-ion batteries, with emphasis on developing process models, optimization frameworks, economic assessments, and life cycle analysis (LCA). The aim is to provide insights into sustainable and cost-effective solutions for end-of-life battery management.
Previously, during his Ph.D. at NTNU under the supervision of Anders Hammer Strømman and Odne Stokke Burheim, Sina’s work concentrated on the techno-economic and environmental dimensions of the lithium-ion battery value chain, spanning from mineral mining to battery design and production. He also developed medium-term scenario analyses (2030) to explore trends in the battery sector.
Sina also has extensive teaching experience. He has been responsible for courses such as Energy Storage Systems, Thermodynamics, Mechanical Fluids, Statistics and Dynamics, and Design of Heating Systems in Buildings.
In addition, he brings several years of experience in energy systems, sustainability, and process modeling, particularly in the areas of carbon capture and renewable energy.
